Stripped Minds | Business, Leadership & Brand Strategy Unfiltered
Welcome to Stripped Minds, the podcast where bold thinkers get bare. Hosted by Sasha Fedunchak, brand strategist, founder, and unapologetic truth-teller, this show peels back the layers of business, leadership, and personal growth to explore what really drives success and what holds us back.
Each week, Sasha sits down with founders, creators, and thought leaders who aren’t afraid to get real about the messy, human side of building brands, leading teams, and living with purpose. From the psychology of influence and the evolution of modern leadership to motherhood, ambition, identity, and the performance culture we’re all trying to escape — nothing is off limits.
If you’re a visionary entrepreneur, creative leader, or curious mind who craves big talk over small talk, you’re in the right place. Because real power starts when we strip away the polish and get honest about what it actually takes to build something that lasts.
