The Emerging Leaders Podcast is officially back 🎙️

To kick off this new chapter, we’re sitting down with someone who helped start it all — Tom Hansen, Learning & Development Manager at The Fischer Group. As a founding member of ELG, the very first ELG President, and the original host of this podcast, Tom played a huge role in shaping what this platform has become.

In this episode, Tom reflects on his time behind the mic, shares what he’s most excited to see as the podcast relaunches, and officially passes the metaphorical baton to the next generation of leaders.

One insight that stuck with us comes from a quote Tom referenced by Jim Rohn: “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” It’s a powerful reminder of how much our growth is shaped by the people around us—and why communities like ELG matter.

As you listen, think about your “five.”

And if someone came to mind… send this episode to them.
