EP 18: Caleb Strauss on Intercultural Leadership, Redemptive Coaching, and Building Coaching Cultures

In this episode of the Nomad CEO Podcast, I sit down with my friend & coach, Caleb Strauss — one of the most genuine leaders I know. From growing up in Kazakhstan as a third-culture kid to serving refugees in Greece, Caleb’s life has been shaped by bridging cultures & asking deeper questions.

We talk about leadership, identity, & what it really takes to create transformation — not just in business, but in people.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Growing up between cultures & how it shaped his calling
  
  
• The three cultural worldview drivers: innocence-guilt, honor-shame, & power-fear
  
  
• What redemptive coaching actually means (& how it creates lasting change)
  
  
• Helping founders shift from doing everything to building coaching cultures
  
  
• The root struggles leaders face — people-pleasing, control, & misaligned priorities
  
  
• Serving refugees in Lesvos, Greece, & the difference between “red line” & “green line” work
  
  
• A simple communication litmus test: Is this right? Is this honoring? Is this empowering?
  
  

Caleb’s heart is to create spaces where the worst of you can be known — & where real growth begins.
