Lars Leafblad: The Power and Purpose of Connection

Summary Long before he co-founded his executive search firm, Ballinger | Leafblad, Lars Leafblad had a passion for connection. From organizing a college alumni network to founding PollenMidwest, Lars has provided a guiding hand, bringing people together to make a difference in the world. Guest Lars Leafblad Highlights Lars thought he wanted to be a doctor, but in college his passion for human connection guided him to a different path. A chance encounter with a panelist at an event opened his eyes to the world of executive search. He started a side-gig newsletter about job opportunities called the “Lars-O-Festo” that became so popular it evolved into a non-profit: PollenMidwest. Lars has been open about struggles with anxiety and alcoholism, hoping to help others find healthy paths through their own challenges.
