Wednesday
Leadership isn’t just about titles—it’s about momentum. FORWARD with Russell Lahodny is where business meets storytelling, and inspiration finally gets put into action. This show dives into the stories of people who roll up their sleeves and move the needle—leaders, dreamers, and everyday heroes who make their communities thrive. Will you finally move FORWARD with you radical dream?
Each week, Russell brings his lens for storytelling (literally) and his love of leadership to conversations that are equal parts insightful and entertaining. Expect stories that make you think, laugh, and maybe even grab a notebook—because these are lessons you’ll want to take with you as you move forward in your own journey.

your host
Russell Lahodny has spent more than two decades helping businesses and communities grow—and capturing stories that inspire. He’s a chamber CEO, cinematographer, and former college club hockey goalie who knows that leadership (and life) are team sports. Whether he’s behind the camera, behind the mic, or behind the net, Russell brings energy, curiosity, and a dash of humor to everything he does.
When he’s not building communities or filming new stories, you’ll probably find him chasing birdies on the golf course or cheering from the rink. Russell believes the best conversations are the ones that connect people, spark ideas, and help us all move forward.
