In this episode of BizBlend, host Sana speaks with Kimberly Bolourtchi—lawyer turned speaker and strategist—on the power of strategic unruliness. From courtroom wins to Latin ballroom championships, Kimberly shares the moment her double life collided and why breaking invisible rules might be your greatest business asset. This episode is for leaders and founders who’ve checked all the boxes yet still feel a nagging “unsomething.” It’s not about reckless rebellion—it’s about disrupting patterns that no longer serve you and aligning with what truly lights you up. If you’re a founder stuck in “fine” or a professional hitting limits you can’t name, this conversation may shift everything.

About the Guest: Kimberly Bolourtchi is a high-performing former litigator, Latin ballroom dancer, and founder of the concept Strategic Unruliness. She helps entrepreneurs, executives, and teams dismantle hidden rules that limit innovation, leadership, and growth. Her work empowers individuals to lead with authenticity—without apology or burnout.

Key Takeaways:

• Strategic unruliness is not rebellion—it’s thoughtful disruption of outdated norms.

• Hidden rules like “something is better than nothing” often hold leaders back.

• Success without fulfillment is a signal, not a failure—listen to the “unsomething.”

• When leaders get clear and bold, teams align more willingly than you’d expect.

• You don’t need to blow it all up—start small, but start.
