How Surrender Becomes The Gateway To True Leadership - Andrew Brummer

On today’s show, Sherisse explores what happens when life asks us to start over — not from defeat, but from devotion.


Leadership is often measured by success, status, and control. But what if the true path of leadership begins with surrender? In this conversation, Sherisse sits down with Andrew Brummer, a fractional executive, author, and mentor who rebuilt his life and career from the ground up at age 53. Through what he calls radical service, Andrew discovered that giving freely from the heart can transform fear into purpose and breakdown into breakthrough.


Together, they unpack how to lead with authenticity, vulnerability, and courage — especially when the path ahead isn’t clear. Andrew’s story invites us to redefine what success means and to remember that leadership, at its core, is an act of service.


If you’ve ever faced reinvention, burnout, or the quiet ache of knowing there’s more you’re meant for, this episode will speak directly to your soul.


Andrew Brümmer lives by "planting seeds that grow trees he'll never sit under." When his company faced closure in 2024, this 53-year-old pivoted boldly; writing two books, coaching startups, and expanding his network to 7,000+ connections spanning six continents.


As "The Business Polygraph," Andrew multiplies the effectiveness of people and teams through authentic, vulnerable dialogue. His extensive operations experience across banking, education, manufacturing, and tech; combined with sharp efficiency awareness and genuine people understanding—positions him uniquely to help CEOs become dispensable. A storyteller who refuses to conform, Andrew speaks on leadership, networking, AI, and hope as a powerful emotion. https://ardunan.com/
