The Lessons Great Leaders Keep Coming Back To | Ep24
When some of the most respected voices in leadership got on stage this year, they kept coming back to the two things this whole show is built on: candor and courage.
In this episode, we share the insights from the Global Leadership Summit that resonated with us the most: why you can't get through to someone who isn't ready to hear you, why waiting for certainty is its own (usually wrong) decision, why backing up is not the same as backing down, and how to keep your best people from picturing a future somewhere else.
Whether you attended or not, this episode distills the ideas most worth carrying into your own leadership. And if you want the full experience next year, the 2027 summit is already on the calendar for August 5th and 6th. Learn more at https://www.globalleadership.org/summit

Push Through Fear, or Live with Regret: A Conversation with Medicare Misty | Ep23
Fear might be the only thing standing between you and the life you actually want.
In this episode, we're bringing in a guest who has made a habit of choosing courage over comfort.
Medicare Misty has spent two decades building one of the most recognizable personal brands in Chattanooga. But before the brand, there were 25 rejections chasing a different dream, a psychology degree that led to a $15K salary, and a stint waiting tables while pregnant.
Together we get into why courage is a muscle you build one hard decision at a time, why knowledge means nothing until you put it into action, and how helping others get what they want has a way of coming back around.
If you've been waiting to feel ready before you make your next move, this is your reminder that ready rarely comes.

Weighing the Cost: A Listener's Story of Courage | Ep22
How far would you go to do the right thing at work? Further than you think, or not as far as you'd hope?
In this episode, we share a listener's story that stopped us in our tracks. Their employer rolled out a mandatory wellness program that crossed a serious line, and this employee had to make a choice: go along with it, or risk their job to say no.
This story is a candid look at what courage can really cost when your values (and sometimes even your health) are challenged. Along the way, we break down what the company got wrong, why good intentions aren't enough, and how a leader's response in moments like these can define their reputation.
P.S. This episode mentions weight loss, body shaming, and eating disorders. Listener discretion is advised.
