Whole by Design
A Conversation with Tony Martignetti about Illuminating the Hidden Brilliance of Multidimensional Leaders
What if your most valuable leadership asset isn't a skill you need to build — but a dimension of yourself you've been editing out?
Join Joel Fariss and bestselling author and leadership advisor Tony Martignetti for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about Tony's forthcoming book, Illuminating Hidden Brilliance: A Guide to Multidimensional Leadership in a Complex World.
Many of today's most capable leaders are carrying a quiet exhaustion — not from a lack of ambition, but from working inside systems that reward narrowness over integration. Tony's new book offers a different path: not optimization, not hustle, but wholeness.
In this conversation, Tony and Joel will explore the ideas at the heart of the book — and what it looks like to lead as a lighthouse rather than a performer.
DiscoverWhy the myth of specialization is breaking down — and what to do instead.
How to identify your core dimensions and lead with discernment, not accumulation.
DesignPractical tools for building sustainable rhythms, presence, and boundaries that actually work.
DistillDeliverHow to scale multidimensional thinking across teams and organizations without burning people out.

About Joel Fariss –
Co-Founder and Board Chair of the Holon Institute, Joel is a globally recognized social philosopher whose work aims to cultivate depth and circularity in the shallows of western culture’s linear meaning economy. In his cross-sector work, he practices "applied imagination" – a way of being, doing, and becoming that transcends disciplinary bounds – to conceive, incubate, and scale ideas conducive to an emergent future in which all life on earth exists in right relationship to both the parts and the whole of existence.
