About this listen

Everyone has a story worth telling—and one we can all learn from.

Behind every title is a human story.
Timeout with Leaders goes beyond job titles and LinkedIn bios to explore the crooked mile of leadership: the messy, meaningful journey of becoming. From CEOs and Presidents to Executive Directors and visionaries, each guest shares their real story: the setbacks, turning points, and inner battles that shaped how they lead with greater clarity, courage, and compassion.

This isn’t just a leadership podcast. It’s a space for honest inner reflection and growth, the kind that fuels the most impactful leadership.

Through fun, raw, and enlightening conversations, we invite you to rethink what leadership really means, starting with yourself.

Whether you're leading teams or simply leading your own life, take a timeout.

  • S5:E18 From Fear to Confidence: The Leadership Mindset Nobody Teaches with Ray Myers
    Apr 8 2026

    What if fear isn’t the thing holding you back… but the signal that you’re exactly where you need to be?

    In this episode of Timeout With Leaders, Tyler White and Kevyn Rustici sit down with entrepreneur, creative, and visionary Ray Myers — a man who’s built multiple businesses, stepped into acting, music, and even storm chasing.

    But this conversation goes deeper than credentials.

    It’s about the internal battle every leader faces.

    Ray breaks down the mindset shift that separates those who stay stuck… from those who move forward anyway:

    👉 Run toward the danger.

    From overcoming self-doubt to leading through uncertainty, this episode unpacks the real work behind confidence — not motivation, not hype, but action.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why fear disappears the moment you take action
    • How to reprogram your inner dialogue
    • The truth about entrepreneurship no one talks about
    • The difference between passion and purpose
    • How great leaders handle uncertainty and pressure
    • Why most people fail before they even start

    Confidence isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you build — one action at a time.
