Beyond the Label:
the courage to dream,
the power to lead.
What does it take to turn a dream into reality? And what happens when we stop defining people by their labels and start seeing them for their potential? Dr. Dan Docherty in conversation with Drew Lachey (98°, Dancing with the Stars) and Lea Lachey, co-creators of the Off-Broadway musical LABEL•LESS.
From performing on some of the world's biggest stages to bringing a deeply personal vision to life Off-Broadway, Drew and Lea know what it takes to chase a dream: courage, resilience, and trust, even when the path forward is uncertain. Chasing a dream takes more than talent. It takes people who believe in what's possible.
Together with Dan, they explore the intersection of leadership, creativity, and human connection, sharing candid stories about taking risks, overcoming adversity, challenging expectations, and building something bigger than themselves. Drawing on the messages behind LABEL•LESS and the neuroscience-backed principles of The Dream Leader, the conversation challenges audiences to rethink what it means to lead.

The room was completely locked in from start to finish. Dan has an incredible gift for making neuroscience feel relatable, memorable, and immediately actionable. I've never seen an audience so energized to put new ideas into practice the moment they walked out of the room.
