Leadership Isn’t Clean. It’s Chaotic.
Don’t Waste the Chaos is where real leaders talk about the moments that tested them—and what it actually takes to lead through them.
Hosted by Kerri Roberts, this podcast blends business, leadership, faith, and real-world experience—without the polished answers or corporate scripts.
Real Conversations. Real Growth.
Each week, I sit down with leaders, entrepreneurs, and experts to talk about:
the pressure no one talks about
the decisions that shape teams and businesses
what actually works when things get messy
These aren’t highlight reels. They’re the conversations leaders actually need.

Episode 83: Build the Business, Don’t Break the People
In this episode of Don’t Waste the Chaos, Kerri Roberts sits down with Emily Holdman, Managing Director at Permanent Equity, to unpack what it means to lead through complexity with conviction and care. Emily shares how her “people-first” approach, paired with a long-term investment philosophy, shapes decisions that prioritize clarity over speed. From rethinking “safety” in times of change to applying the principle of “do no harm” in business, she offers a masterclass in steady leadership that builds trust, resilience, and lasting impact.
Episode 82: Why Morale Is Tanking in Your Team (And What to Do About It)
The real test of leadership isn’t how fast you grow - it’s how you show up when growth slows. Most leaders panic. They downsize in a frenzy, hide behind vague language like ‘restructuring,’ and leave their teams in the dark. But right sizing? That’s different. That’s stewardship. That’s intentional. And if you're not planning your workforce like you plan your marketing, you're already behind.
