In this engaging episode of Vistage LIVE, host Stephanie Christopher sits down with Tony Chamberlain—Vistage Chair, seasoned executive, and former Undercover Boss—to explore the power of leadership forged through real-world experience. Tony reflects on his early ambitions to run businesses, his transformative leadership at Staging Connections, and his evolution from hands-on CEO to thoughtful mentor and peer group facilitator.
With candid insights, Tony reveals the lessons he's learned from turning around underperforming businesses, cultivating high-performing leadership teams, and creating trusted spaces for business leaders through his Vistage groups. He shares why he wishes he had discovered Vistage earlier, how he balances being a non-executive director with chairing peer groups, and what makes peer advisory so powerful for CEOs and business owners.
And yes—he even shares the funny story of going undercover for the reality TV show Undercover Boss, wig mishaps and all.
