Making Elephants Fly | Conversations with High Octane Leaders, Dreamers, & CreativesAuthor: Terry Weaver
Making Elephants Fly features conversations with High-Octane Leaders, Dreamers, & Creatives hosted by Terry Weaver. Terry is a speaker, author, and ideapreneur who has invested his life in others to giving them the tools to live life alive; whether through helping others see their dreams become reality, traveling around the world challenging young leaders to change the world, leading teams of people to do more together than they could alone, or hanging out with Mickey Mouse. Over the last 20 years, Terry has spoken to hundreds of thousands of young leaders, worked with entrepreneurs to take their idea from a thought around the fire to a six-figure business, and partnered with creatives to expand their platform from their garage to the stage of the Grammy Awards. On some episodes, we will be sitting down with a New York Times Best-Selling Author, a Disney Imagineer, creative leaders from organizations like Cirque du Soleil, an incredibly successful business leader, or sometimes an entrepreneur just getting started and trying to get their dreams off the ground. Above anything, our greatest desire is to help you discover your passion, unleash your purpose, and start doing the work that you have been created for. Our hope is that it feels like you are pulling up another chair to the table with us and grabbing a cup of coffee and listing in on the conversation.

Sunday, 1 February, 2026
On this episode of Making Elephants Fly, Terry sits down with Leslie Weaver. Join Leslie and Terry as they talk about their incredible health journey, the unexpected challenges they faced during "the thing" event in Orlando, and the power of community in times of crisis. Leslie Weaver helps everyday people see themselves as leaders and lead with confidence. With more than 25 years of experience across education, nonprofits, and organizational leadership, she has built and developed leaders from the inside out. Leslie currently serves in a senior leadership role in one of the nation's top school systems, leading teams of over 600 and shaping experiences for thousands of students. Known for her practical, down-to-earth teaching style, her work centers on self-leadership, simple systems, and consistent action. She is a regular main-stage favorite at The Thing and lives in Nashville with her husband, Terry, and their miniature schnauzers. They share candid stories about navigating hospital stays, the importance of advocacy, and lessons learned about self-care, leadership, and the value of surrounding yourself with the right people. One big idea from this episode: When life gets overwhelming, it's the strength of your community—and your willingness to ask for and accept help—that truly makes all the difference.
