In this episode of the Masters of Resilience podcast, we sit down with Brad Lomenick - author, speaker, and longtime president of Catalyst, one of the most influential leadership movements of the last two decades. Brad shares his raw and honest journey, from wrangling horses on a Colorado ranch to leading thousands of leaders through Catalyst. He opens up about the weight of leadership, the sting of transactional relationships, and the painful wake-up call he received from his own team. This conversation explores the power of intentional community, why clarity matters more than passion, the necessity of feedback, and how leaders can make sure the people closest to them don’t just get what’s left over. Whether you’re a young leader figuring out your calling, or a seasoned leader navigating transition, Brad’s wisdom on self-awareness, feedback culture, and investing in relationships will inspire and challenge you.
