The Prompt & The Leap, Candid Conversations on Calling & Courage

Two people, opposite ends of the same question

The engine of the show is the contrast between them, momentum meeting reflection, across a partnership of nearly three decades.

Sarah Gerdes

Sarah Gerdes

Host

Three decades of experience, having raised well over five hundred million dollars across many industries, and having navigated her own path as a single parent. She leads with the living-by-the-prompt conviction that guides her, and keeps the conversation moving forward.

Chris Grant

Chris Grant

Co-Host

The audience's “proxy in the room”, asking the questions a thoughtful listener would ask and pressing gently on consequences, motivations, risks. Then shifting into a more philosophical register as the reflective counterweight to the discussions at hand.

The Premise

The space between the signal and the act

Most of us feel the pull toward something. Far fewer move on it. The show lives in that gap, the distance between hearing the call and having the courage to answer.

The Prompt

The inner signal

A calling, an instinct, a conviction, the quiet voice that points you toward a direction before the world tells you it makes sense.

The Leap

The courageous act

The decision to move. The physical courage to follow the prompt instead of talking yourself out of it.

The Disconnect

The gap between

Nearly everyone feels the prompt. Most never take the leap. That distance, and how people cross it, is the whole show.

This comes down to lived experience, honest failure, and the quiet judgment it takes to move when it matters, a universal, everyday calling, whatever you believe.

What Each Episode Explores

Four threads run through the series

A full hour of real conversation, built around the questions the hosts have spent careers living.

01

Anatomy of Resilience & Time

How people endure, adapt, and use time well amid pressure and change.

02

The Courage of the Silent Room

The private, unwitnessed moments where the real decisions actually get made.

03

Living by the Prompt

Recognizing the inner signal, and the discipline of learning to trust it.

04

Prosperity as Stewardship

Reframing success and wealth as responsibility rather than accumulation.
