Apply to be a guest of Your Core Words Podcast — explore the hidden thread connecting Self, Health and Wealth.
No pitch. Real stories.
The Your Core Words Podcast features long-form conversations with outstanding individuals whose journeys reveal something deeper about identity, health, ambition, wealth, transformation and contribution.
We are always looking for founders, executives, investors, experts, transformation leaders, creators or public voices with a meaningful journey to share.
Too many podcasts are promotional in their nature.
This is a thoughtful exploration of the story beneath the success.
You have lived something worth understanding.
You may have built, led, transformed, advised, created, recovered, risked or contributed at a meaningful level.
Your story may move through achievement, reinvention, illness, resilience, wealth creation, loss, discipline, visibility, leadership or legacy.
What matters is not only what you have done.
It is what your journey has taught you — and whether that wisdom may now serve others.
The most valuable stories are often hidden beneath the success everyone sees.
Many conversations with outstanding individuals stay close to the surface. They focus on the role, the milestone, the result, the method, the public version.
But the deeper story often lives elsewhere.
Substance.
Not performance.
Too often, interviews become pure promotion.
The individual becomes a brand.
The story becomes a pitch.
The conversation becomes another appearance.
The most meaningful journeys, however, deserve attention, depth and the right questions.
We listen for the hidden thread.
Your Core Words started as a book co-creation practice.
Through a bespoke, interview-led process, we help uncover the deeper patterns shaping an individual’s life and work, and transform them into a powerful, readable narrative.
The podcast is an extension of that same inquiry. We listen for the stories, patterns and thresholds that shaped who you have become.
Your host.
The Your Core Words Podcast is hosted by Leonardo de Melo, founder of YourCoreWords.
For the last 20 years, Leonardo’s life and businesses have connected a myriad of areas, from publishing to executive communications, from thought leadership to functional nutrition, from nature-based biohacking to international financial media and events — he has worked with founders, senior decision-makers, public voices and accomplished individuals at moments of impact and change.
He brings depth and breadth to each guest conversation: a deep curiosity on identity, values and personal transformation; a long-standing interest in longevity and resilience in health; and a lifelong investigation into the meaning of abundance, prosperity and growth.
The result is an exchange that feels intelligent, useful, human and true.

The Guest ExperienceSelected guests are supported with care before and after the conversation.
This includes thoughtful pre-interview support and social assets drawn from the conversation.
The aim is not simply to produce content.
The aim is to create a lasting piece of narrative visibility that feels intelligent, useful and true.
We curate guests with substance.
The podcast is typically suited to founders, executives, investors, experts, transformation leaders, creators, public voices and individuals whose lived experience carries insight others can learn from.
You do not need to have your story neatly packaged.
You do need to bring substance, reflection and a willingness to explore what shaped you.
This is not a fit for surface-level visibility, product promotion, rehearsed personal branding, generic advice, or sales-led appearances.
Without the right conversation, the deeper story may remain unseen.
Your achievements may already be visible.
But the most useful part of your journey may still be hidden beneath them.
A strong conversation can make those patterns visible — not only for you, but for those who may recognise something of their own journey in yours.
A conversation that makes your journey readable.
A powerful episode allows listeners to see beyond your achievements.
They’ll understand what shaped you.
Your story becomes more than facts. Your experience becomes useful. Your insights become shareable.
Your journey becomes readable.
