Known to many as America’s Nicest Judge, Judge Frank Caprio joins On Leadership to share his inspiring life story and his approach to compassionate justice in the courtroom. Raised by working-class immigrant parents, Judge Frank credits his upbringing for instilling him with the values of honesty, integrity, decency, and compassion. He proudly brings these values to life in the courtroom as he works to truly understand the circumstances and life experiences of those who come before him. Judge Frank’s TV show has made him an internet sensation, but he maintains a humble, authentic demeanor and views his legacy as being kind, understanding, and compassionate with all he comes in contact with.

On Leadership is joined by an American icon: Al Roker, a longtime broadcaster and journalist who has worked at NBC for over 45 years, including nearly 30 years as a co-anchor on the TODAY Show, joins the podcast for a reflective discussion on his legacy. Al walks us through his career journey, including how he got his start in television and became a weather forecaster on the TODAY Show, and offers advice for aspiring leaders and professionals, emphasizing the importance of a strong work ethic and being prepared for opportunities when they arise.

A lot could possibly go right with our AI future according to venture capitalist, entrepreneur, and bestselling author, Reid Hoffman. The LinkedIn co-founder joins On Leadership to discuss his new book, Superagency, emphasizing the importance of embracing a “technohumanist compass” as we all aim to more effectively leverage technology in business. Reid argues that AI is not here to replace people, but to augment and empower them. He encourages people to proactively learn how to integrate AI tools into their work to stay adaptive and competitive. As a leader, Reid suggests that key competencies for the future will include nimbleness, continuous learning, and the ability to effectively integrate AI tools and technologies into individual, team, and organizational workflows. He believes this mindset shift is critical for companies and leaders to thrive amidst the coming technological changes.
