In this Passion Struck episode, I sit down with Tien Tzuo—visionary founder and CEO of Zuora, bestselling author of Subscribed and Founders, Keepers, and one of the early architects of Salesforce—to explore how agility, transformation, and purpose can redefine not just business success but personal fulfillment. Together, we explore why the future belongs to those who prioritize relationships over products, why agility is a lifelong wellness practice, and how leaders can adopt a transformational mindset to thrive in a world of constant change.
