Leading from Being
Leading from Being with Marti Spiegelman and Todd Hoskins delves into the untapped dimensions of leadership, weaving together the possibilities within full consciousness and indigenous wisdom. This isn't another "conscious leadership" podcast – it's an invitation to experience leadership beyond our thinking minds, accessing depths of human experience that most leadership conversations never touch.
Drawing from Marti's deep work in 'precision consciousness,' grounded in both Harvard biochemistry and three indigenous wisdom traditions, and Todd's expertise in organizational design and natural systems, each episode bridges principles and practices of leadership with timeless ways of knowing. Together, they guide listeners beyond conventional paradigms to explore how accessing our innate consciousness can transform not just how we lead, but how we exist in relationship with ourselves, our teams, communities, and the living systems around us.
Perfect for leaders seeking to transcend traditional frameworks, whether you're navigating complexity in the boardroom, catalyzing transformation in your organization, or fostering change in your community.

Episode 34: Landscapes of Being-External Territories and Internal Geographies
In this inaugural Landscapes episode, Marti traces the word's surprising origins from Dutch "land" and "ship," revealing how understanding of place began with fluid conversation between territories. The discussion moves from physical geographies to what Andean elders call "landscapes of the heart"—internal territories of relationship and meaning that shape who we become.
The conversation explores how Western separation from Nature impoverishes both external and internal landscapes, while original human wisdom traditions demonstrate belonging to the places we inhabit. Personal stories emerge of witnessing the healing of post-extraction lands in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the electromagnetic pull of Arctic territories, showing how specific places can restore capacity for thriving.
The episode reveals how placing awareness outward into the world can create deeper connection than traditional meditation, and concludes with the understanding that integration emerges naturally naturally when systems are well-functioning. For leaders navigating complexity without clear roadmaps, this offers a different approach to finding direction through relationship with the territories we're crossing.
