Steward Leaders Podcast

Leadership is temporary.
Stewardship is about forever.

Steward Leaders: Not About Us

Steward Leaders is a podcast for executives, founders, and professionals who understand that leadership is not about power or self.

Hosted by Eric R. Alexander—former CFO, advisor, and mentor to leaders—each episode explores what it means to lead as a steward: to hold authority with care, to invest in sustained people-honoring value creation, to cultivate effective accountability, and to live our lives as leaders for something bigger than ourselves. Eric invites experienced leaders as guests for these conversations.

This is not a podcast about quick wins or leadership theatrics. It is for leaders who take their role seriously—and are willing to think deeply about how, who and why they lead.

New episodes released at least twice monthly.
