The Illumify Game Changer podcast takes you on the leader’s journey, as you accompany one person, Jonathan Hill, as he answers each of the 57 questions. This is your front row seat to his journey from, in his own words, “not a leader” to a leader with a big vision, ultimately willing and able to ignite his meaningful change. It’s for those committed to igniting meaningful change in their organizations, communities, and the world at large.

In this episode, we begin the leader’s journey by meeting Jonathan who, upon agreeing to play the Game Changer publicly through this podcast, cautioned me “I’m not a leader”. As you listen, you may hear him reveal otherwise -- whether he recognizes it yet, or not.
