Would You Freeze in Crisis? Brad & Kiera Newbury 🚨 (Ep. 171)
What would you do if the person next to you collapsed right now? 🚨 Most of us would freeze, and this week’s guests are on a mission to change that. Fire captain and paramedic Brad Newbury (40+ years in fire and EMS) and his daughter, EMT Kiera Newbury, join MO to talk about their book The Saved Effect. It asks a question most of us never think about: what happens after a life is saved?
💓 In this episode: 🚑 The day bystanders saved Brad’s dad, and the six extra months it gave their family 🧠 Why people freeze in a crisis (the bystander effect is real) ⏱️ Why every minute without CPR cuts survival by about 10% 💼 The low-cost leadership move every workplace should make: CPR training plus an AED 🔥 How the old “suck it up” culture in first response is changing for a new generation 🦋 How Kiera turned her dad down five times, then named the book after the butterfly effect There are laughs and plenty of heart. You’ll come away more ready to be the one who steps forward. 🙌 So here’s the question: when chaos hits your team, will they wait for someone better, or will they follow you into action? 🤔

Is Your Ego Costing You Your Team? | Doug & Betsy Cockrell (Ep. 170)
🐴 What do horses, a garage sale, and a marriage that almost ended have to do with leadership? Pretty much everything! In 2010, Doug & Betsy Cockrell had two horses, five acres, and a $500 insurance bill they paid with a garage sale 💸. Ten girls slept in sleeping bags on their living room floor for the first camp, and that small yes became Abundant Life Ranch 🌾. It’s now a 160-acre faith-based nonprofit in Reedley, California, serving hundreds of at-risk youth, foster kids, and families every year. In this episode of the Rising Tide Leadership Podcast, Doug & Betsy talk honestly about: 🔥 How to rebuild trust after you’ve broken it
🚪 Why a slammed door might be part of the plan 🐎 The difference between breaking a horse and building a partnership, and what it says about how you lead 💼 Hiring their first employee with one month of payroll in the bank 🤠 “Ranch swagger,” the confidence that comes from experience, not ego

How to Win Over Your Toughest Critic | Kyle McDowell 🤝 (Ep. 169)
Kyle McDowell started in a tiny cubicle at 18 and climbed to the top of Fortune 10 companies, leading tens of thousands of people and running billion-dollar P&Ls. 🏢📈 Then came the gut punch: he realized he hated the culture he had built.
😳 In this episode, the WSJ and USA Today bestselling author of Begin With WE tells MO about the night that changed everything. He stayed up until 2 a.m. and wrote 10 sentences that became The 10 WEs. ✍️ He also explains why the values on the wall don’t drive the behavior in the hall, why your jokes get funnier the higher you climb 😂, and how his toughest critic became one of his most trusted confidants. 🤝 So here’s the question: would your team follow you if you didn’t have the title? 🤔
🔥 What you’ll take away:
✅ The difference between being feared and being respected
✅ How to break the leadership echo chamber
✅ Why owning your mistakes builds trust instead of costing it
✅ What to do when someone won’t buy in
✅ The one principle to start living tomorrow morning Your team is talking about you at the dinner table tonight. 🍽️ What are they saying?
