Unlocking the power of Quiet Capital with Sallyann Della Casa of GLEAC
In a world obsessed with financial capital, what if the assets that matter most for resilience don’t show up on a balance sheet at all?
In this episode of Shaken Not Burned, Felicia talks to Sallyann Della Casa, founder of the mentorship and learning platform GLEAC, to explore the idea of quiet capital, the invisible forms of value that increasingly determine who adapts and thrives in an AI-driven world.
Quiet capital includes trust, networks you can actually mobilise, deep contextual knowledge, purpose, and community. These are the human assets that can’t be automated away — and yet are consistently undervalued because they’re hard to measure.
Together, Felicia and Sallyann discuss why experience and judgment matter more as intelligence becomes cheap, why so many digital and AI transformations fail despite “working” technology, and how organisations quietly undermine resilience by treating people as interchangeable. They also explore why Gen X may be one of the most overlooked — and exposed — generations in the current transition, and why trust may be the most critical form of capital we have left.
This is a conversation about resilience, relevance, and redefining wealth in a world of accelerating change.
