In this episode of ‘The Empathic Leader,’ Doug Crowe—author, media veteran, and business growth strategist—shares how he went from a shy student to a confident leader by prioritizing human connection over tech and titles.

Doug opens up about losing everything in 2008 and how rediscovering his own voice helped him rebuild his life—and help others do the same. He dives into the power of personal branding, why empathy is essential for real influence, and how leaders can stand out in a noisy, tech-driven world.
