This episode is deeply personal—and one you won't forget.

I’m joined by Leighsa Montrose, whose life changed forever after the unexpected suicide of her husband, rock legend Ronnie Montrose. What followed was a journey through immense grief, public loss, and ultimately, healing.

Leighsa shares how she found purpose through service, discovered the power of trauma therapy, and began helping others navigate their own losses. We talk about what it means to truly show up for someone who’s grieving, and how vulnerability can be a path to resilience.

If you or someone you love has experienced loss, this conversation offers compassion, perspective, and hope.

About Leighsa:

Leighsa Montrose is a grief support advocate, wellness consultant, and the widow of legendary rock guitarist Ronnie Montrose. After a successful career in event design, Leighsa transitioned into the music business to manage Ronnie’s return to touring—handling everything from logistics to contracts. Following his tragic death in 2012, she stepped into a new role: preserving his legacy while navigating profound personal loss.

Leighsa founded RoMoCo, LLC to manage Ronnie’s estate and organized a high-profile tribute concert featuring artists like Sammy Hagar. She later trained as a peer grief counselor with Kara and became a certified wellness consultant, focusing on helping others heal after trauma and suicide loss. Today, Leighsa shares her story to raise awareness around mental health and offer hope to those walking their own grief journeys.

This week’s guest is a total powerhouse—Adrian Miller, longtime sales trainer turned full-time content creator. Adrian spent over three decades in the sales trenches before making the bold leap to build a thriving business around her second love: writing. Her superpower? Capturing your voice so your content sounds like you—not like every other AI-generated post out there.

We had a blast diving into how Adrian uses AI daily—not as a replacement, but as an editor, idea partner, and tireless assistant that helps her produce better content faster. If you’ve been skeptical or overwhelmed by AI, Adrian’s approach will change your mind. As she says, “I’m not afraid of AI—I love it more every day!”

You’ll hear actionable ways to use AI for newsletters, prompts, emails, even travel itineraries and toddler-friendly games. Plus, her perspective on why everything is sales (yes, even kids negotiating for popsicles before breakfast) will have you nodding along.

Don’t miss this episode—it’s smart, fun, and might just change how you work.
