    Apr 6 2026
    In this episode of Stop Requested, Levi McCollum and Christian Londono talk with Paul Comfort, Chief Customer Officer at Modaxo, former CEO of MTA Maryland, and host of Transit Unplugged. With nearly four decades in public transit and government, Paul shares how his career evolved from a local transportation coordinator role into leading one of the largest transit agencies in the country. The conversation explores how communication became his edge as a leader, how strong teams are built inside complex organizations, and why leadership ultimately determines whether agencies succeed or stall. Paul also discusses his perspective on developing talent, aligning strengths with roles, and creating environments where people can perform at their best. We also get into his new book, Find Your X Factor: Follow Your Personal Treasure Map to Purpose, and how leaders can identify where their interests and abilities intersect to drive meaningful impact.
