What Changed? with Dwayne Smith - Podcast

What Changed? with Dwayne Smith

What Changed? with Dwayne Smith is a podcast about self-leadership, mindset, and the moments that shape who we become. With over 20 years as a people-first leader, I’ve learned this truth: we can’t impact others until we learn how to lead ourselves.

Through honest conversations with authors, entrepreneurs, creatives, coaches, and everyday people, we uncover the life transitions, career pivots, burnout recoveries, and quiet turning points that change everything.

If you’re navigating personal growth, transformation, or purpose, you’re not alone. This is your space to listen, reflect, and discover how to lead yourself - in your work, your relationships, and your life.
