About the Podcast

Conversations with executives on leading at work and showing up at home.

CEOs & ABCs is the podcast for high performers who lead at work and show up at home. Each week, host Kevin Rice sits down with executives, founders, and rising leaders to talk candidly about career growth, leadership, parenting, and the messy reality of balance. It’s where the boardroom meets the bedtime story.

Our Mission

We created CEOs & ABCs to explore the untold side of leadership. Behind the titles and promotions, many executives wrestle with guilt, burnout, and the struggle to be present at home. Our mission is to share honest stories, practical tools, and lessons learned — so you can succeed without losing yourself or your family.

Success at work doesn’t have to come at the cost of family.

Inside Every
Episode

Inside each episode, we explore what leadership really looks like when the boardroom and the living room collide. Our guests open up about the moments they’re proud of, the ones they wish they could redo, and the lessons that changed how they show up at work and at home. These are honest stories from the people leading iconic companies—while raising the next generation.

Hear how ambitious leaders actually built their careers. From first breaks to high-stake pivots, guests share the decisions, risks, and moments that shaped their paths, and what they’d do differently today.

Leadership beyond the title. C-suite executives and founders unpack the hard lessons, failures, and mindset shifts that defined their leadership, and the advice they wish they’d heard sooner.

Success means little if you’re never there. Guests speak candidly about staying present with their kids and partners during demanding seasons, and the practices that helped them show up at home.

The cost of always being “on.” Real conversations about burnout, boundaries, and recovery and how high performers protect their energy, families, and longevity without sacrificing ambition.

Companies We’ve Interviewed

“It’s important to realize you’re building your life. Life isn’t something that just happens to you. A lot of things will happen to you and you can’t control that, but you can choose how you react. You’re building your life. You’re making the decisions. When you finally see that and take control — for the good and the bad — you can look around and say, ‘Wow, I built this. I decided this is what I wanted and here I am.’”

– Melissa Grady Dias, CMO Cadillac
