Fred Marshall has spent decades helping companies like Apple, Pfizer, and Genentech navigate moments of rapid transformation. As founder and CEO of Quantum Learning, Inc., he’s trained more than 130,000 professionals across fourteen countries and helped launch dozens of major bio-pharma brands. His specialty is translating high-pressure change into clear, repeatable performance.

In his new book, THRIVE: The Antidote to Future Shock (May 12, 2026), with a forward by Peter Diamandis, Fred argues that the real risk of AI isn’t automation – it’s human overload. Teams aren’t failing because the technology is too complex. They’re struggling because attention, energy, and judgment are being stretched past their limits.

Sabrina Parsons, CEO of Palo Alto Software, would bring a striking perspective to your show. Sabrina has spent years not only innovating (with her team at LivePlan, supporting over a million entrepreneurs globally) but fiercely advocating for women in tech and in leadership. She’s shaped powerful initiatives in Oregon to broaden access to capital and opportunity, and she’s dedicated to democratizing entrepreneurship so every founder gets a fair shot, no matter their background.

Her practical approach to strategy, her experience across civic leadership and her candid voice as ForbesWoman’s “MommyCEO” make her a natural fit for conversations on technical and creative leadership. Sabrina’s knowledge—from navigating Silicon Valley startups to empowering youth sports and growing nonprofits—is the kind of operational insight and human-centered philosophy your audience craves.
