In this episode of The Business Caring Formula, I sit down with Esther Wojcicki, the Silicon Valley Godmother, mentor to Fortune 500 CEOs, and creator of the TRICK philosophy for a powerful conversation on leadership, education, and innovation that shapes lives across generations.

We explore:
• How trust, respect, independence, collaboration, and kindness create impactful leaders
• What schools, corporations, and parents can do to empower the next generation
• How AI, Agentic AI, and robotics are transforming education and leadership
• Guidance for generations as they enter the workforce
• The role of caring leadership in driving meaningful, sustainable change
• How energy, discipline, and lifelong learning fuel long-term impact

From classrooms to Silicon Valley, from families to Fortune 500 boardrooms, Esther's insights offer a timeless blueprint for leaders who want to innovate with purpose and lead with care.
