After a successful career in pharma and a few health scares that made her stop and reflect — Gail Tatebe asked herself the questions most of us avoid: What actually matters? And how do I want to spend my time?
Her answer led her to walk away from corporate life and create Ki Explore — a company built around connection, energy, and joy. Gail’s mission is simple and powerful: to design experiences that help people reset and re-energize, whether through global travel or local events.
And when the pandemic shut down travel just as she was starting out? Gail didn’t stop. She pivoted again — staying anchored to her purpose and finding new ways to bring people together.
In this episode of Leadership and Reinvention, Gail shares:
Why reconnecting with your purpose is the most powerful pivot of all
How to reinvent when life throws curveballs
The lessons she’s learned about courage, resilience, and joy
Her story is a beautiful reminder that reinvention isn’t just about career change — it’s about choosing a life that aligns with your values.

Welcome to Leadership and Reinvention — a podcast about the courage to change, the strength to start over, and the stories behind the boldest career moves.
What if your next chapter is the one that changes everything?
In this inaugural episode, we begin where every great transformation starts: by confronting the brutal facts, and taking a fearless inventory of who we are — and who we aspire to become.
You’ll meet your hosts, Michael Cloutier and Mirisa Prasin — two seasoned leaders who stepped away from the known comfort of corporate life to embrace the uncertainty of entrepreneurship. Not because something was missing, but because the time felt right to explore a new chapter — one filled with possibility, purpose, and continued growth.
We’ll explore the turning points, the crucible moments, and the inner convictions that sparked our reinvention. This isn’t about chasing change for the sake of it — it’s about making thoughtful decisions that align with who you are and who you’re becoming.
This is where it begins. With clarity. With courage. With intent.
Let’s get to work.
