Jay Halliday of Vaxinova joins host Brandon Molnix for a heartfelt conversation about servant leadership that goes far beyond traditional management advice. Their candid exchange dives into how leadership principles transform not just workplaces but every human relationship.

Jay shares his unexpected journey into agriculture through his language skills, which launched him into an international business development role requiring extensive global travel. While professionally exhilarating, this schedule created personal challenges that taught him valuable lessons about balance and priorities. His revelation came through discovering servant leadership and specifically the "Coach Approach" - learning to ask "what does your gut tell you?" instead of always providing answers. This simple shift empowers others and builds genuine ownership and passion.

The discussion takes a compelling turn as they explore how asking better questions transforms relationships. Brandon and Jay reveal how changing "how was your day?" to "what was a win today?" creates deeper connections with children, team members, and even bosses. They unpack the importance of aligning people's natural talents with appropriate roles, using frameworks like "get it, want it, capacity to do it" to ensure everyone thrives in their position.

Perhaps most powerfully, Jay opens up about his personal growth journey toward humility, offering his favorite definition: "Humility isn't thinking less of yourself—it's thinking of yourself less." This vulnerability creates space for listeners to reflect on their own leadership approach, whether they lead teams, families, or simply influence those around them.
