Leadership Without the Armor with Jon Lovitz
Episode 24
Tuesday, 16 December, 2025

Jonathan Lovitz, Senior Vice President of Campaigns and Communications at the Human Rights Campaign, joins Forged in Fire to talk about leadership rooted in service, impact, and inclusion. From shaping national communications and policy efforts to advancing equality for LGBTQ+ and minority-owned businesses, Jon’s career reflects a commitment to leading with purpose rather than position. He shares lessons on self-awareness, adaptability, and creating space for others, and reminds us that strong leadership is built on trust, curiosity, and the courage to protect what matters most.
