Summary
PODCAST DESCRIPTION In this candid episode of Leading Below the Surface, LaTonya Wilkins sits down with executive coach and Consciously CEO Kvon Tucker to talk about what it really takes to break away from dominant leadership standards – especially inside big-name companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Google. Kvon shares how a suicidal depression in his late 20s became a turning point, why he ultimately walked away from a “dream” tech career, and how he and his family ended up in Costa Rica designing a more human, spiritually aligned life. Kvon unpacks the dangerous mix of hypergrowth, fear-based leadership, and ego-driven cultures – and what it looks like to lead consciously instead, in a way that centers love, liberation, and human wellbeing. This is a below the surface conversation about work, worth, ego, redemption, and the kind of leadership our world actually needs right now. EPISODE SUMMARY In this conversation, we explore: How Kvon’s mental health crisis woke him up to a life and career he didn’t actually choose. His path through Netflix, Amazon, and Google – and what was really happening beneath the “best places to work” branding.

Three practices Kvon recommends for anyone who wants to lead more consciously: meditation, healing work (like therapy), and coaching.
