Welcome to the CLS experience.

I'm your host, Craig Siegel.

I'm a Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author of The Reinvention Formula.

I'm a global, transformational speaker, facilitator, coach, mentor, advisor, investor, eight-time marathoner,

You'll hear from some of the most dynamic and accomplished guests on the planet

and some cute little solo mini episodes as well.

A lot of imposter syndrome,
