005. Femininity in the Global Power Structure with Brandon Wheeler
Brandon Wheeler is equal parts warrior and philosophy. A decorated Marine, global strategist, and fiercely principled operator, Brandon has lived and worked in over 100 countries—advising top-level defense, intelligence, diplomacy, and economic leaders from the frontlines in Syria and Libya to briefing U.S. ambassadors and presidential candidates. His work has shaped international policy, humanitarian coordination, and economic strategy around the world, and his life often reads more like a real-life novel than fiction.
But what makes Brandon truly extraordinary isn't just his resume—it's who he is as a thinker, as a friend, and as a man deeply rooted in purpose. That’s why this week on UNLOCKED, we’re diving into some of the most timely and provocative questions shaping culture and leadership today—through the lens of gender, identity, and influence.
Topics like gender equality, toxic masculinity, and the cultural codes that shape power are front and center in today’s world—and this conversation doesn’t shy away. We ask what these dynamics really mean on a personal and societal level, and how they show up in leadership, policy, and the very way we relate to each other.
Lauren and Rachel also share real stories from their own lives—navigating power as women in male-dominated spaces, challenging assumptions, and learning to lead without sacrificing their feminine strength.
Topics This Week:
- How Women Are Treated Both Inside and Outside the United States
- Why Female Empowerment Has Been Historically Leveraged as a Political Tool
- How Gender Roles Have Evolved Within Each of Us
- Personal Stories of Navigating Male-Dominated Worlds
- The Realities of Gender, Culture, and Power That Shape Our World
