In this episode of the Townsend Institute Podcast, Drs. Ashlie and Gilbert sit down with Ryan Franklin—pastor, executive coach, and Townsend Institute alum—to explore the story behind The Christian Leader Blueprint.

Discover how faith, relationships, and the Townsend model—especially the power of attunement—deeply influence Ryan’s approach to helping leaders thrive. It’s a conversation filled with honesty, hope, and practical wisdom for anyone leading in today’s world.
