Rebel Mindset: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Kim Spikes & Kallie Knop
(Formerly The Upshot Leadership) In a world where we’re told to follow the rules and fit into neat boxes, we’re here to question everything. We’ll dig into the minds of leaders who go beyond the status quo and chart their own paths—both in leadership and life. The Rebel Mindset podcast hosts leaders across industries and generations to have a frank discussion on what shapes us. Each month we feature a different leader who is a change-maker, someone who thinks differently and brings a unique perspective to leadership and success. The rebel leader rejects passivity and accepts the responsibility of thinking differently in the pursuit of authenticity, innovation, and change, even when that means standing apart or facing resistance. Hosted by professional coaches Kallie Knop and Kim Spikes, we hope this podcast inspires listeners to be part of a new wave of leadership that ques

The Long Run
Kelly Hayley has finished 100+ marathons, all while building a community that refuses to leave anyone behind. In this episode, we unpack what it means to become something—not just “try” it—by embracing discomfort, choosing strategy over ego (hello, run–walk), and building the stamina to keep showing up both at mile 20 and at work. Kelly shares practical wisdom on training plans, rest as a requirement (not an afterthought), leading teams through hard things, why community and relationships are everything, and how identity is forged by doing. Plus: the wildest race stories ever, along with a reminder that confidence is earned one mile at a time. Listen in if you’re ready to step fully into who you want to become.

With 66% of professionals admitting to career regrets, this conversation invites you to pause, reflect, and align your daily actions with your deeper values. Legacy isn’t reserved for later, it’s created in real time, through aligning with what you value most, repairing relationships, and stepping into work that actually matters.
