A great experience overall. Angela was fantastic – great questions and I can tell she does her homework. Many other podcast hosts have no idea who I am or any info on my background.

The production values are very high – it’s a great podcast to be associated with. I appreciate that the podcast releases on multiple platforms AND is put out in reels and shorts segments.

Community Engagement Manager at Chief

Our recent workshop on Visual Storytelling Strategies for Women Leaders was nothing short of transformative. Led by Angela and her incredible team, the session provided invaluable insights into building compelling brand narratives, planning production budgets, and aligning video content with business goals.

Through expert-led sessions and dynamic breakout groups, members gained practical skills and had the opportunity to put their learnings into action. One of the most engaging parts of the workshop was a hands-on activity where participants crafted exciting pitches and received real-time feedback from a panel of industry experts.

Angela’s team was engaging, insightful, and deeply experienced, leaving a lasting impact on everyone in the room. The AGN Group is truly badass, and I can’t wait for the next opportunity to collaborate.

Senior Vice President of Veranex

My favorite part of the BLP experience was simply having a conversation with Angela. I love how she doesn’t ask questions. Instead, she engages the guest and joins the conversation.

I believe the audience learned as much from her as they did from me. It didn’t feel like an interview. Listening to the podcast, I actually learned things about myself. I loved every minute of it!

Dan Gill

Dan Gill

Vice President Sales, Warehouse Automation

Angela and her team are engaging with comfort and confidence. Starting at zero on this journey of personal branding and exposure, Angela and her team coach through conversation. I imagine for many, like myself, the decision to “put yourself out there” is a little bit scary. I didn’t know where to start or how to portray what I am about within a landscape of nearly endless avenues of possible exposure. The AGN group effectively breaks this journey up into bite-sized, digestible pieces. I thank the AGN group for guidance, support, and out-of-this-world customer service.

It is very easy to turn a 1 hour meeting with the AGN group into 4 hours of engaging dialogue that truly helps you to reinforce “Who you are” and “What you are truly all about”. #BetterTogether

Kajal Jain

Director of Product Management at Florence Healthcare

Working with Angela was a transformative experience that shaped me into a stronger, more confident leader. Her coaching challenged me to grow while always maintaining empathy, pushing me beyond my comfort zone in a way that fostered real development.

She embodied radical candor, fearlessly addressing tough conversations with honesty and care. It was always clear to me that her guidance came from a place of genuine investment in my success. Angela’s unwavering belief in uplifting women leaders continues to inspire me to do the same, and her integrity and ethical approach set a powerful example. She didn’t just preach leadership values, she lived them! And through her support, I have learned to do the same.

What I admire about the AGN Group is its leadership under Angela – a strong, ethical, and courageous woman entrepreneur, coach, and leader. I deeply appreciate her willingness to share the invaluable lessons she has gained throughout her remarkable professional and personal journey. Angela’s ability to uplift others while staying true to her values motivates me to lead with the same strength and compassion. If you’re feeling uncertain and in need of inspiration, this is the perfect place to find it.

Katie Hart

Katie Hart

Client Relations Manager

Angela leads with a rare blend of empathy, passion, and vision, constantly striving to bring out the best in those around her. As my coach and mentor, Angela made a profound impact on my professional journey. Under her guidance, I always felt both seen and valued, as she consistently went above and beyond to support my growth. Her leadership is grounded in deep compassion, and she possesses an extraordinary ability to recognize each individual’s strengths and nurture them to their fullest potential. I grew immensely thanks to her mentorship, and I am confident that anyone fortunate enough to be coached or mentored by her will experience the same transformation.

Angela’s dedication and foresight allow her to make informed decisions with an appreciation for the bigger picture. Despite her strategic vision, she is never too busy or too proud to roll up her sleeves and assist with the day-to-day tasks, no matter how small. Her passion for her work is evident in the extra effort and attention to detail she applies to every project, ensuring that the work is always of the highest standard. Angela never settles for “good enough”; she consistently pushes for excellence.

What truly sets Angela apart is her unwavering commitment to maintaining the balance between achieving outstanding results and fostering a positive, human-centered environment. Her ability to prioritize the well-being of those she supports, while never compromising on the quality of the work, is remarkable.

My favorite things about being a guest on the Badass Leaders Podcast were , firstly, the corporate processes.

David Graf

David Graf

Life and Mindset Coach

Angela has just the right balance of driving the interview and sitting back. She’s actually interested in what her guests have to say —as opposed to having guests on the podcast so she can give her opinions. She certainly has opinions, but she is beyond the point where she needs to impress other people with them; instead, she is comfortable extracting the wisdom of her guests

It was a marvelous experience and I had so much fun. I would absolutely recommend anyone to be a guest on her podcast if you are lucky enough to be chosen.

Professor at the Massachusetts Society of Medical Research

I love Angela’s interview style. She quickly was able to bring a level of comfort, like you were chatting to an old friend. I haven’t done a lot of podcasts so I really appreciated her ability to help me feel comfortable.

It took me a few days to gather the courage to listen to myself, but once I did, I was so proud of the result. Typically, I don’t personally share things that I am involved with widely to my friends and family, but this was too good not to share.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to be a part of your movement!

Cluster Manager at Joachim Herz Foundation

Angela moderatored our event, Kickoff Joachim Herz Entrepreneurship Program + Transatlantic Innovation Forum, and it was a 10/10 experience.

Angela showed great preparation, even with limited time, as well as empathy for the group and their needs, the ability to integrate these needs in the workshop, high professionalism, and dynamic moderation.

Her great introduction to the week-long program paved the way for a successful week of workshops and meetings, so she was an integral part of the program’s success.

Two weeks later, she was the perfect moderator for the Transatlantic Innovation Forum and contributed greatly through her dynamic and engaging moderation style as well as her thematic knowledge.

AWS Partner & Prison Reform Advocate

My favorite part of the Badass Leaders Podcast experience was the moment I arrived and saw my name out front. It was such a warm, welcoming feeling. The studio was amazing, and the whole experience felt natural, just a genuine, real conversation.

Honestly, being on the Badass Podcast was a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to share my story in an environment that magnifies purpose, not for selfish gain, but because I believe there’s real power in stories of resilience and overcoming our own potential setbacks.

Angela and I both share that belief, and conversations like ours remind me that the world needs to hear more of those stories that inspire, heal, and show what’s possible.

Hilary Porta

Hilary Porta

Founder of Equip2Elevate

Honestly, the entire experience felt seamless from start to finish.

Katie’s communication, organization, and follow-through were top-tier. In fact, I jokingly threatened to steal her away because she’s that good — but out of deep respect for Angela, I refrained from poaching. Katie is an absolute gem.

Speaking of Katie, both Angela and I genuinely felt for her because what was supposed to be a standard podcast episode turned into almost a double episode simply because the conversation was so rich and engaging. The time flew.

I’m interviewed often, and I can honestly say this was one of the most natural, dynamic, and enjoyable conversations I’ve had. Angela’s interviewing style creates a rare balance of depth, intelligence, humor, and authenticity that immediately puts you at ease while still pulling out meaningful insights.

It never felt transactional or overly scripted — it felt like a real conversation between two leaders willing to go beneath the surface.

And the excellence didn’t stop once the recording ended. The follow-through, promotion, video clips, LinkedIn positioning, and overall execution were exceptional. Every detail reflected professionalism, intentionality, and genuine care for both the guest experience and the audience.

Truly one of the best podcast experiences I’ve had.

I’m a firm believer in honest, constructive feedback — and I’m also not easily impressed when it comes to podcast experiences.

That said, I genuinely can’t offer any meaningful improvements.

From the pre-interview communication to the recording experience to the post-production follow-through, everything was handled with professionalism, intentionality, and care. The communication was clear, the conversation flowed naturally, and the promotion and positioning afterward were exceptionally well executed.

It’s rare to find a team that balances operational excellence with genuine human connection as well as Angela and Katie do — and it absolutely shows.

Angela Gill Nelms has a remarkable gift. She asks the kind of thoughtful, probing questions that invite not just answers, but reflection. The result is a conversation that goes far beyond talking points and reaches the deeper places where leadership, purpose, and humanity intersect. Just as impressive is the team behind the scenes. Their commitment to excellence shines through in every detail of the experience—from preparation to production to the genuine care they bring to their work. Great podcasts are never created by one person alone, and this team is exceptional.

I’m deeply grateful for the invitation and incredibly proud of the conversation we created together. It felt authentic, meaningful, and alive in all the best ways.

Thank you, Angela, for creating a space where leaders can bring not only their expertise, but also their humanity.
