About Evoke Greatness Podcast

Do you have an insatiable hunger for growth, knowledge, and elevating how you show up in business and in life? Are you curious how high-performing leaders think, operate, and navigate the real challenges that come with building, scaling, and leading? I’m Sonnie Linebarger, CEO and host of Evoke Greatness… a top 2% globally ranked business and leadership podcast fueled by curiosity, performance, and a deep fascination with the psychology behind great leadership. I’m a book nerd, a bit of a control enthusiast, and someone who believes that success is built as much internally as it is externally. On this podcast, we go beyond strategy. We explore the real conversations behind leadership, the decisions, the pressure, the growth, and the personal development required to execute at the highest level. We share the highs and lows and everything in between… because building something meaningful will stretch you in ways nothing else can. My hope is that something you hear resonates deeply, challenges how you think, and reminds you that you’re not in this alone. I believe that a rising tide raises all ships and I invite you along in this journey to Evoke Greatness!

What Building Spartan Taught Him About Surviving the Unthinkable | Brian Duncanson (Pt. 2)

Published 29 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] All you do is get to the first five miles. Like you said, you got to go up 32 times. All you can do is go up the first time, that mountain, right? And then you deal with the second time, and then you deal with the third. So you make a plan. You have intermediate checkpoints. And then along the way, you just have to be adaptable to know that I need to go left or right. So when the diagnosis came down, it was just, again, my mentality.
