Ep. 110: Leading from Within: Olivier Malafronte on AI Coaching, Fatherhood & Entrepreneurship

What happens when a leadership coach loses connection with himself?

In this episode, I speak with Olivier Malafronte, French entrepreneur and pioneer in AI-powered coaching, whose work bridges cutting-edge technology with deep self-awareness. From founding startups to becoming a father, Olivier reflects on how personal growth, emotional complexity and professional ambition intersect - and how easy it is to lose balance when self-awareness takes a back seat.

A PhD researcher in AI coaching and leadership development, Olivier opens up about how childhood loneliness shaped his need for connection, how fatherhood reshaped his definition of success and why even experienced coaches must return to self-reflection to lead effectively.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How family dynamics shape leadership behavior and relational patterns
Signs you're disconnected from yourself and how to realign before burnout hits
Why openness and vulnerability are essential in high-performance environments
Practical ways to integrate self-awareness into fast-paced leadership
How AI coaching enhances self-leadership by sharpening reflexivity

Key topics:

AI coaching and leadership development
Entrepreneurial self-awareness and emotional regulation
Balancing fatherhood and professional ambition
Building trust through authenticity in leadership

Olivier’s story is a raw, thoughtful reminder that growth isn’t just about moving forward, it’s about pausing to reconnect with the person behind the title.
