Description

The Leaders Lab Presents "The Playbook with Ken Eslick" is your weekly guide to building world-class teams, scaling your business with confidence, and maximizing enterprise value for a successful exit.

Hosted by Ken Eslick — a former Tony Robbins Trainer, Fortune 500 executive, and Founder of The Leaders Lab -  with more than 30 years of leadership experience spanning military service, entrepreneurship, corporate leadership, and executive coaching.

Ken has been directly involved in 1,000+ executive placements and 75+ successful acquisitions, contributing to over $1 billion in enterprise value creation. Along the way, he’s served as COO of the M1 Mastermind Group, Head of Coaching for James Blackwell’s Agency Blueprint, and Board Member for Nick Bradley’s High Value Exit, while collaborating with some of the world’s leading business voices.

Together with co-host Onika Kwatsha and a roster of expert guests, Ken dives deep into the three pillars every business leader must master: Hire, Scale, and Sell. Expect actionable leadership insights, proven strategies for business growth, and insider perspectives from founders, executives, and thought leaders who have scaled and exited successfully.

Previously, Ken hosted The Leaders Lab Podcast (ranked in the top 5% of podcasts worldwide), where he interviewed top voices like Mike Michalowicz (Profit First) and John Warrilow (Built to Sell). His work has earned recognition as a Rotarian of the Year, finalist for Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, and recipient of multiple Fortune 500 awards for sales and operational excellence.

Whether you’re a founder, CEO, or emerging leader, The Leaders Lab Presents the Playbook delivers the frameworks, strategies, and inspiration to power your leadership journey — and help you build a business that thrives, scales, and sells.
