🌴171. “That’s Freedom!” feat. Jade Miller


Hey friends, welcome back to Leanne on Demand! If you’re listening in real time, it’s Friday and I’ve (hopefully!) just arrived home after sleeping out in the cold for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout — I’ll debrief all of that with you next week.
Today’s convo? Well, it’s fresh. Like, still-haven’t-recovered-my-voice fresh.
I’ve got the delightful Jade Miller back on the pod — she joined me and Steve Demedio this week as one of the founding participants at the Red Carpet Campout. We’re debriefing from the car, slightly croaky but full of joy, red wine, and reflection.
We chat about:
- Why every founder needs time off-grid
- The magic of combining structure with space
- That John Farnham moment around the fire (yep — we all belted out That’s Freedom like it was a mission statement)
- How metaphor and collage led to surprising insights during our visioning session
- The importance of using your intuition (and bees 🐝)
- How transformation doesn’t always come from spreadsheets — sometimes it comes from late-night chats, laughter, and stepping away from the screen
Jade also shares her perspective as a participant, what surprised her, and why the group dynamic created something truly special.
If you’ve ever wondered whether investing time in these types of experiences is worth it, let this episode be your nudge.
🛌 I’ll catch you next week with some thoughts from the CEO Sleepout. In the meantime, go blast some Farnham.
