About the Show
The Amplify Speakers Podcast was created with one goal in mind: to bring you closer to the people and ideas that move the world forward. Every episode is a front-row seat to an honest conversation with someone who has built something extraordinary — and is willing to share what really happened behind the scenes.
This is not a show about polished highlights. It is about real stories, hard-won lessons, genuine failures, and the turning points that changed everything. Whether you lead a team of five or five thousand, you will walk away from every episode with something you can use.
What You Will Hear
Each episode covers the kind of insights you rarely hear on stage. Guests open up about the moments that tested them, the decisions that defined them, and the habits and mindsets that keep them performing at the highest level. Topics include leadership under pressure, building resilient teams, overcoming adversity, communicating with impact, creating winning cultures, and performing on the biggest stages in business, sports, and life.
The show features keynote speakers, bestselling authors, Olympic athletes, executives, and coaches who have earned their perspective the hard way — and are generous enough to share it.
Meet the Host
Chris Sund is a nationally recognized leadership speaker, bestselling author of You Are Capable of More, Maxwell Leadership certified coach, and founder of Amplify Speakers, a national speakers bureau representing world-class keynote talent across the country.
As President and COO of Uniti Med, GQR Healthcare, and Nebula, Chris leads large organizations while remaining deeply passionate about leadership development, high-performance culture, and helping people realize they are capable of more than they think. He brings that same energy and curiosity to every conversation on the podcast — asking the questions that get to the heart of what it really takes to lead, grow, and make an impact.
Featured Episodes
Recent conversations have included standout guests such as David Posner, a leadership consultant and former professional basketball referee, who drew powerful parallels between high-stakes officiating and executive decision-making. David shared how the first few minutes of any situation set the tone, why indecision is itself a decision, and how building trust transforms team performance — lessons that translate directly from the court to the boardroom.
Other episodes have explored topics like finding joy in high-pressure environments, building unshakable resilience, lessons from Olympic athletes on what winners do differently, mastering high-stakes communication, understanding relatability in leadership, transforming organizations through culture, and the mindset shifts that separate good leaders from great ones.
