Real. Leadership.
What does leadership really look like?
It looks like showing up when it’s hard.
It looks like asking better questions, not pretending to have all the answers.
It looks like celebrating progress—not just chasing perfection.
That’s Pure Leadership is a podcast for growth-minded people who want to lead better, live fuller, and learn from the real stories that never make the highlight reel.
About The Show
Each week, host Chris DenHerder connects with leaders across Michigan—nonprofit execs, small business owners, coaches, creatives, community builders, and bold thinkers—to talk about the wins, the failures, the lessons, and the laughs. No fluff. No jargon. Just honest conversations that remind us we’re not alone in the journey.

Your Host
Born and raised in West Michigan, Chris DenHerder brings a practical, human-first approach to leadership rooted in years of experience across sales, strategy, coaching, and community building.
