Justin Wright — Co-Founder
My purpose is to inspire and empower leaders to unleash their potential and create a positive impact in the world. I believe success is a byproduct of helping others, and the best leaders create other leaders. I spent 23 years in corporate leadership. VP of Marketing. Division President. CIO at a $4 billion company. Led a $100M P&L and 400+ people. I know what it takes to lead at the highest levels. The pressure, the politics, the decisions that keep you up at night. When I left the corporate world, I had 1,700 LinkedIn followers. 23 years of leadership, and almost nobody outside my previous company knew my name. It was humbling. I started over. I learned how to build an audience from scratch. In under 3 years, I grew to 690,000+ followers. Organically, without paid advertising. I write daily about leadership, emotional intelligence, workplace culture, career development, and self-mastery. I believe kindness is strength, empathy is a leadership superpower, and the best leaders create other leaders. If any of that resonates, here are a few ways I can help: I share 99+ free leadership cheat sheets through my newsletter, Brilliance Brief. I'm building KnownLeaders (coming soon). It's a community where accomplished leaders build authority and grow their audience. And through my agency Polished Carbon, my team helps CEOs and thought leaders grow on LinkedIn. Your expertise deserves an audience. I'm here to help you build one.
