Leading from Within: Authentic Leadership and Ownership with Gary Montalvo

What if leadership wasn’t about titles or tasks, but about self-expression and ownership? In this episode of BizBlend, host Sana is joined by Gary Montalvo—leadership coach, podcast host, and former Chief Growth Officer—who shares his raw insights on leading as your truest self. From busting leadership myths to reframing responsibility and ownership, Gary explores what it really means to run a business from a place of authenticity. Whether you're a founder overwhelmed by tasks or a solopreneur navigating doubt, this conversation will challenge how you lead, grow, and show up. About the Guest: Gary Montalvo is a leadership and mindset coach with nearly 20 years of experience guiding entrepreneurs toward conscious leadership. Formerly Chief Growth Officer at LimeLife by Alcone and host of The Ownership Game podcast, Gary helps purpose-driven founders lead from within and build businesses that reflect who they truly are. His work is rooted in personal responsibility, practical leadership tools, and the belief that authenticity drives sustainable success. Key Takeaways: Authentic leadership starts by asking: How do I want to lead myself and others? Entrepreneurs often mimic leadership instead of defining their own style. Leadership isn’t managing people—it’s owning your vision, energy, and culture. Delegation and culture-building are essential from day one—not when it’s too late. Ownership is about taking responsibility for your experience and response, even when things go wrong. You don’t need to become someone else to grow—you just need to become more you.
