How do you build a relationship with someone you really don’t like—but still have to work with to accomplish the mission?

In this episode of the Lead.WIN. Podcast, Leif and Jamie break down one of the most common leadership questions we get from every industry:

👉 “How do I build a relationship with someone who rubs me the wrong way?”

Using real stories from the SEAL Teams, corporate clients, and their own lives, they show why the problem isn’t just the “difficult person” on the other side… it’s two egos colliding. And more importantly, what you can actually do about it.

You’ll learn:

• Why a bad relationship with your boss, peer, or inspector is hurting your team more than you think
• How to check your ego and stop “drinking the haterade”
• The Extreme Ownership framework for relationships: Trust – Listen – Respect – Influence – Care
• Practical steps to repair frictional relationships (even when there’s history and emotion)
• How to stop assigning sinister intent and start building alignment around the mission
• An Immediate Action Drill you can use this week to fix one relationship in your life

At the end, you’ll walk away with clear, tactical actions to build effective relationships—up, down, and across the chain of command—so you can lead and win.

Are you confusing being busy with actually making an impact?

In this episode of the Echelon Front Lead.Win. Podcast, we break down how to stop “fighting fires” all day and start prioritizing and executing on what really drives your long-term mission at work and at home.

You’ll learn how to:

• Stop confusing activity for impact
• Shift from tactical busyness to strategic goals
• Use detachment to see what really matters
• Apply decentralized command so your team solves problems without you
• Protect time for what matters most: family, relationships, and health
• Use tools like time audits, time blocking, No-Meeting Fridays, and Now/Next/Later lists

This conversation ties directly into the principles from Extreme Ownership and The Dichotomy of Leadership and shows you how to apply them in your business, your team, and your home.

👉 Watch, learn, and then run the Immediate Action Drill:

• Write your top 3 long-term goals
• Set your top 3 priorities for the week
• Set your top 3 tasks for today
• Make sure they all align

When you prioritize and execute on what truly matters, you create more impact, more freedom, and more capacity to lead and win.
