  • Ep 30 - The Power of Humility in Leadership
    Sep 17 2025

    Humility isn’t weakness—it’s controlled strength. In this kickoff episode of the Humble Leadership Mini-Series, I explore why humility matters more than most leaders realize, how ego erodes trust, and three practices you can apply right away: admitting when you don’t know, listening before deciding, and giving credit while taking blame. I’ll share lessons from my own experience on how humility builds trust, credibility, and influence in every environment.

  • Ep 29 - Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
    Sep 10 2025

    Growth doesn’t live in comfort—it lives on the edge of it.


    In this episode of Leadership for Life and Business, I explore one of the most important leadership skills you can build: getting comfortable being uncomfortable. From my military career to building businesses, I’ve learned that discomfort isn’t something to avoid—it’s a compass pointing you toward growth.


    Here’s what I unpack:


    Why waiting until you feel “ready” is a trap.


    The three types of discomfort—Learning, Performance, and Danger—and how to tell the difference.


    My GROW framework: Get clear, Reframe, Operate, and Welcome growth through discomfort.


    Practical strategies like the 5-Second Rule and Worst-Case Scenario exercise to help you take action even when it feels tough.


    The truth is, confidence doesn’t come before action, it comes after it. Leaders who succeed aren’t fearless; they’ve just trained themselves to operate in the uncomfortable.


    If you’re ready to push past your comfort zone and accelerate your growth, this episode is for you.


    Listen now and remember: get comfortable being uncomfortable. Your future self will thank you.
