In this episode, Billy sits down with Jonah Erbe, President of Leadership Management International (LMI)—a global leadership development organization operating in nearly 90 countries—to explore what it truly means to lead with purpose, clarity, and conviction.

Jonah breaks down LMI’s servant-led framework, showing how personal growth, productivity, communication, and strategic leadership come together in their Total Leader approach. He shares the story of the “three bricklayers” to illustrate how great leaders help people see the bigger mission behind their work—whether in a business, a community, or a global organization.

Billy and Jonah dig into the practical side of leadership as well, including:

• Why LMI plans in 100-day sprints and how any leader can turn big visions into daily, sustainable action
• How assessments like PES and DNI reveal hidden blind spots and accelerate leadership growth
• Why servant leadership isn’t soft—it’s structured, accountable, and profoundly effective
• How balancing profits and people isn’t just ethical, but strategically superior
• What global leadership looks like across diverse cultures, pressures, and economic realities

In a powerful moment near the end, Jonah shares the deeply personal conviction that guides his work: making more disciples—and how faith informs, but does not overpower, LMI’s universal leadership principles.

Whether you lead a team, run a company, or simply want to become more effective and grounded in your work, this conversation offers a clear, practical, and inspiring roadmap.
