Episode Title: Leadership, Rhythm & Living a Fantastic Life with Brian Alementi

Episode Summary

In this inspiring episode of How to Live a Fantastic Life, Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes transformational speaker, trainer, and leadership expert Brian Alementi. With warmth, wisdom, and a touch of humor, Brian shares his journey from corporate life to becoming a sought-after keynote speaker. He opens up about navigating setbacks, redefining leadership, and finding deeper meaning through storytelling, rhythm, and perspective.

From Layoff to Leadership

Brian’s path to the stage wasn't planned—it began with a corporate layoff. Rather than retreat, he leaned into his lifelong passion for learning and development, founding his own business and stepping into the spotlight. As he shares, “I do this because I love to, not because I have to.”

The Real Work Behind Speaking

Dr. Lycka and Brian discuss the realities of the speaking industry, likening it to a duck on water—graceful on the surface, paddling like mad underneath. Success comes from unseen effort and unrelenting passion.

What Sets Brian Apart

In a crowded field of leadership speakers, Brian brings something fresh: storytelling, humor, and what he calls “the leadership gaps.” He emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and the importance of leading from within—skills often missed in traditional leadership models.

Leadership Redefined

To Brian, leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about impact. Whether you’re guiding a team or leading yourself, true leadership means making a difference. He challenges us to rethink KPIs and corporate jargon in favor of emotional intelligence and human connection.

Servant Leadership and Impact

The conversation delves into servant leadership, a concept both guests champion. Leaders, Brian says, should “put others ahead of you... and give them the tools to shine.” They discuss how great leadership can be measured by the positive transformation it sparks in others.

Transformation Through Storytelling

Transformation, for Brian, happens through “aha” moments. His stories—especially those about his grandfather—leave lasting impressions. One favorite? “We get old too quick and smart too late.” These golden nuggets of wisdom, he says, are what truly change lives.

The Rhythm of Life

A lifelong drummer, Brian incorporates rhythm into his keynotes—literally and metaphorically. Rhythm reflects our inner cadence and energy. Whether it’s your personal life or your team dynamic, rhythm reveals how aligned (or offbeat) we really are.

Living a Fantastic Life

How does Brian live a fantastic life? Through his PG³ Model: Positivity, Passion, Perspective, Gratitude, Generosity, and Grace. These six principles guide his life and teachings—and serve as the framework for others to elevate their own journeys.
