Episode Details

In this episode of 9-5 Exit Plan, I sit down with HR executive, TEDx speaker, and author Ralph Kellogg.

Ralph shares his deeply personal journey through identity, mental health struggles, resilience, and leadership, revealing the lessons that inspired his book Leading While Human: Notes I Wish Someone Had Given Me. (BookBaby⁠)

We discuss authenticity, vulnerability, workplace culture, burnout, belonging, and why leaders must stop separating professional success from human experience.

Ralph also offers practical insights on building healthier organizations, supporting mental well-being, and leading with courage in a world that often rewards performance over humanity.

If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or professional seeking a more authentic and sustainable approach to success, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
