Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with professional sports executive, author, speaker, and creator of empowHER, Toni Will.

Toni serves as the General Manager and Governor of the Kalamazoo Wings, a men’s professional hockey team in the ECHL. She leads in a high-pressure, male-dominated industry with a focus on culture, performance, and innovation.

Beyond sports, she is the founder of empowHER, an annual women’s empowerment conference, and host of the Women In… Podcast. A TEDx speaker and Ironman triathlete, Toni brings a unique blend of discipline, authenticity, and real-world leadership to everything she does.

Her upcoming book, Rebellious Success (releasing August 11, 2026), explores the mindset and identity shifts needed to lead boldly and live fully.

Today, her work centers on what alcohol-free living unlocks—clarity, confidence, and courageous leadership.

From her base in Kalamazoo, we dive into leadership, identity, and thriving under pressure.

Enjoy this powerful conversation.
