ABOUT

Christopher Appleton

Christopher Appleton speaking on stage

I believe leadership is one of the greatest opportunities we have to serve others.

Every day, leaders have the chance to shape someone's confidence, restore someone's hope, develop someone's potential, or change the trajectory of someone's life. That's a responsibility I don't take lightly.

For more than 17 years, I've been blessed to lead teams, develop people, and serve within organizations that have allowed me to grow both professionally and personally. I'm incredibly grateful for the career I've built and for the opportunities I've been given. But the reason you're visiting this website has little to do with my title, accomplishments, or professional experience.

It's about purpose.

This platform exists because I believe the world needs more leaders who genuinely care for the people they serve. Leaders who understand that leadership isn't about status, power, or position. It's about stewardship. It's about helping others become more than they thought they could be.

That's why I dedicate my time to sharing what I've learned, encouraging leaders, mentoring young people, and investing in anyone who wants to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Much of what I do through this platform is offered freely because I believe leadership development should be accessible to people who are willing to learn, grow, and serve.

My hope is simple:

To help raise a generation of leaders who love their teams, value people, and use their influence to make the world a little better than they found it.

Because when leaders care deeply, people thrive. Teams excel. Communities grow stronger. And lives are changed.

Love Your Team.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 19, 2026

Leadership One Media ("we," "us," or "our") operates heartcenteredhustle.com (the "Site"). This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the rights you have over it.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us. When you subscribe to our newsletter, request a speaking engagement, or contact us, we collect the details you submit — typically your name, email address, phone number, organization, and any message content.

Information collected automatically. Our hosting provider and email platform may log standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and timestamps. This is used for security, troubleshooting, and understanding aggregate traffic.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

2. How we use your information

We use your information to send the newsletter you requested, respond to speaking and general inquiries, deliver products or resources you request, maintain the security and functioning of the Site, and comply with legal obligations. Where required by law, we rely on your consent for marketing email, and on our legitimate interest or contractual necessity for responding to your inquiries.

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

3. Service providers

We share information only with vendors who process it on our behalf and under contract, including our email marketing platform (Mailchimp/Intuit), our website host (Netlify), and our course platform (LearnWorlds). Each maintains its own privacy practices. We may also disclose information where legally required or to protect our rights and safety.

4. Cookies and tracking

The Site uses only essential cookies and similar technologies needed to deliver the page and remember your preferences. We do not use advertising cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; doing so may affect how parts of the Site work. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where applicable.

5. How long we keep information

We keep newsletter subscriber data until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Inquiry and booking correspondence is kept only as long as needed for the request and our reasonable business records, then deleted.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information; to withdraw consent or opt out of marketing at any time; to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information (we do neither); and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Residents of California (CCPA/CPRA), other U.S. states with comparable laws, and the EU/UK (GDPR) may have additional rights, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise any right, email leadershiponemedia@gmail.com. You can unsubscribe from any email using the link at the bottom of that email. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

7. Security and international transfers

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Our providers are based in the United States, so information may be transferred and processed there; where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

8. Changes and contact

If we update this policy, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide notice by email or on the Site. Questions or requests: leadershiponemedia@gmail.com.

This policy is provided for general informational purposes and is not legal advice. Consult an attorney to confirm it meets the requirements that apply to your jurisdiction and business.
