by The Institute | Oct 20, 2025

Produced by the Digital Transformation Broadcast Network (DTBN), the new series features raw, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership, and personal transformation.

NEW YORK, NY- October 20, 2025: This October, a powerful new podcast will make its debut on the Digital Transformation Broadcast Network (DTBN). Gut Punch brings listeners face-to-face with the defining moments that change everything—and the people who turn those moments into catalysts for growth, healing, and reinvention.

Hosted by Kathryn Lancioni, communications strategist, educator, and resilience coach, Gut Punch features candid, deeply personal interviews with leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday individuals who have faced—and overcome—their own “gut punch” moments. Each episode examines how these experiences reshape perspective, leadership, and life direction in the face of change.

Setbacks are part of every story, but they don’t have to be the end of it,” says Lancioni. “Gut Punch shines a light on how people transform adversity into clarity, courage, and new beginnings.”

Through themes that span mental health, leadership, and personal reinvention, Gut Punch offers a compelling look at what resilience really looks like in action. Listeners will hear stories of people navigating disruption—both personal and professional—and emerging stronger on the other side. DTBN is producing the series end-to-end, from recording and editing to distribution and promotion, to ensure each episode strikes the right balance of emotional honesty and professional polish.

Kathryn isn’t just a talented host, she’s a friend who brings real heart and honesty to every conversation,” said John Palinkas, Founder of DTBN. “Gut Punch belongs at DTBN because it helps people lead through change, personally and professionally, and that’s the kind of storytelling we’re proud to stand behind.”
