A Leadership Podcast That Fits Into Your Workday

In a world where leaders are time-starved and traditional training often falls flat, our podcast is doing something genuinely different. 

Inspired Action: The Leadership FOURcast™ is a weekly, 10 to 12-minute, conversational leadership series created by MindFit Coaching, Inc. that brings together real leaders across industries to tackle challenges that matter most in today’s workplace.

Whether you’re a superintendent managing field crews, a mid-level manager navigating organizational change, or an emerging leader hungry for practical guidance, The Leadership FOURcast™ shares different points of view and gives you tips and ideas you can start using immediately.

What Is Inspired Action: The Leadership FOURcast™?

The Leadership FOURcast™ is a short-form leadership podcast produced by MindFit Coaching, Inc. and hosted by Kyle Pertuis, an experienced leadership coach and founder of Inspired Action Leadership Performance System™. 

Each episode brings together Kyle and three guest leaders from diverse industries and backgrounds for a focused, organic conversation on a single leadership topic.

The podcast launched in April 2025 with new episodes releasing every Thursday at 12:00 pm CT. 
A 10-minute version of each episode is published on LinkedIn, while a longer extended cut is available on the MindFit Coaching YouTube Channel. The format is intentionally short: busy leaders don’t have time for hour-long lectures, but they can absorb a focused, high-value conversation in the time it takes to grab a coffee.

The ‘FOUR’ in FOURcast™: What Does It Mean?

The name is deliberate. Each episode features four voices — Kyle and three guests — creating what the show calls a “FOURcast™” of leadership perspectives. The format mirrors how real workplace conversations happen: multiple people, different experiences, honest exchange. That dynamic is a core part of what makes the series feel authentic rather than performative.

From Mentor Wisdom to a Leadership Movement

The FOURcast™ started with a piece of advice Kyle Pertuis received years ago from a mentor who said, “God is looking for regular people to change this world. He wants us to do normal things in radical ways!”. That principle became the seed for everything Inspired Action Leadership has grown into.

Kyle and his partner Susanna Clavello built MindFit Coaching, Inc. over 15 years, delivering leadership development through live workshops, group coaching, and one-on-one work. The FOURcast™ became a way to scale that wisdom, to get practical, grounded leadership insight out of conference rooms and into the ears of people who need it most.

“This isn’t just another leadership discussion; it’s an action-oriented conversation to make an impact.” — MindFit Coaching, Inc.

How the Show Works: Format, Process, and What to Expect

The FOURcast™ is designed to be low-friction and high-value for both guests and listeners. Here’s how the process works:

For Listeners

• New episodes drop every Thursday at 12:00 pm CT on LinkedIn (10-minute version)
• Extended conversations are available on the MindFit Coaching YouTube Channel
• Topics cover a wide range of real leadership challenges such as trust, communication, change, culture, emotional intelligence, and more.

For Guest Participants

• If selected, prepare a 2–3 minute response to one or more leadership questions provided in advance
• Join a 30-minute Zoom call with Kyle and two other guests (recorded most Thursdays at 11:00 am and 3:00 pm CT)

The entire experience is designed to be relaxed and dialogue-driven. No heavy preparation required, just your honest experience and perspective.

Topics That Matter: What Gets Discussed on the Leadership FOURcast™

One of the most important design choices behind the Leadership FOURcast™ is that it doesn’t avoid the hard topics. It runs straight at them. Past episodes have explored questions like:

• How do you build buy-in with your team on a decision you don’t fully agree with?
• What barriers hinder human connection — and how can they be addressed?
• How can leaders maintain meaningful connections during times of change or uncertainty?
• What role does storytelling or sharing personal experiences play in developing deeper bonds?
• How do we navigate heated conversations while maintaining professionalism?
• How do you handle situations where your emotions or biases affect your leadership?
• How can we innovate without the fear of failure?
• What role does self-reflection play in effective leadership?
• How can we create a culture of trust?

The through-line across all of these questions is a coach-centered approach to leadership. The idea that great leaders don’t just give answers, they create conditions for others to discover their own.

The Coach-Centered Leadership Philosophy Behind the Leadership FOURcast™

At its core, Inspired Action: The Leadership FOURcast™ is built on a philosophy called coach-centered leadership. MindFit Coaching has articulated three foundational principles of this mindset:

1. Truly believe in others. Coach-centered leaders genuinely believe in people’s potential and their capacity to grow. This is the foundation for trust and confidence, not just compliance.

2. What works best for you isn’t necessarily what works best for others. Effective leaders recognize individual differences and tailor their approach rather than expecting everyone to fit their preferred mold.

3. Your thought leadership is not a cure for the way others think. Coach-centered leaders listen, support, and create space for others to find their own answers, rather than imposing solutions.

This framework isn’t just theoretical. It shows up in how the podcast is structured: multiple voices, genuine dialogue, no pre-scripted answers. The format embodies the philosophy.

Inspired Action Leadership: Where the FOURcast™ Meets Organizational Development

The FOURcast™ is not just a podcast — it’s a building block. For organizations that want to go deeper, MindFit Coaching has developed Inspired Action Leadership™: a comprehensive, multi-touchpoint approach to integrating leadership development into any organization.

Inspired Action Leadership combines:

• In-person live workshops (half-day or full-day formats) built around three pillars: Awareness, Connection, and Engagement
• Weekly micro-lessons drawn from FOURcast™ episodes, often customized with the organization’s own people on camera
• Monthly group coaching calls for real-time application and accountability
• Peer-to-peer learning structures that build community within the organization

What makes this model uniquely powerful is the customization element. When a company engages MindFit for Inspired Action Leadership™, their own leaders become the subject matter experts in the micro-lessons, not an outside talking head. Watching a colleague share perspective on a leadership challenge builds internal credibility and accountability in a way that external training can’t replicate.

Inspired Action Leadership™ Stands Out in a Crowded Leadership Space

The leadership development industry is large and noisy. Books, courses, webinars, keynotes there’s no shortage of content. So what makes the FOURcast™ different?

It features real practitioners, not polished experts. Guests aren’t celebrities or bestselling authors. They’re managers, safety directors, project leads, and educators doing the actual work of leading, which makes their insights applicable in a way that theoretical advice rarely is.

It’s genuinely conversational. The format isn’t interview-style question-and-answer. It’s an organic group discussion where the conversation can go wherever the topic takes it.

It’s built for application, not just inspiration. Every episode ends with the listener having heard multiple real-world approaches to a real leadership problem. There’s something actionable in every episode.

It scales inside organizations. The Inspired Action Leadership™ model means that what starts as a podcast can become the backbone of an internal leadership development program, featuring the organization’s own people, on their own topics, for their own teams.

“I’ve yet to see anybody doing what we’re doing, especially inside organizations. The micro-lessons are succinct, the video component people really love because now they’re watching other people in their company. That builds internal accountability.” — Kyle Pertuis
