057. Leading with Love: Building a Culture of Human-Centered Leadership
"I try to show up and show love—even in business."
In this soul-stretching episode of Vulnerability Muscle, Reggie D. Ford is joined by culture curator and leadership consultant Darius E. Moore for a conversation that blends storytelling, emotional truth, and practical wisdom. Together, they explore how early life experiences, especially Darius’ deeply personal family history marked by tragedy and healing, shaped his approach to relationships, leadership, and fatherhood.
From breathing through trauma to curating workplace cultures rooted in love, this episode shows how real power comes from showing up as your whole self—scars, stories, and all. They discuss the importance of seeing others not as data or problems to solve but as people to love. They also dive into what it means to parent with presence, the grief of a lost childhood, and why every child—and adult—deserves to be seen as a star.
Darius shares stories from his upbringing in a military household, how his therapist wife helped him discover emotional regulation, and what his daughter taught him about living in the moment. This episode is a tribute to collective kinship, vulnerability as a practice, and leadership through love.
Key Takeaways & Quotes:
- “Discipline and punishment aren’t the same thing. I wasn’t punished; I was prepared.”
- “Breathing is how I regulate. I believe every inhale is the breath of God.”
- “If you want to build better cultures—at home, at work, in the world—start by loving people right where they are.”
Call to Action:
This episode will change the way you think about love in leadership, parenting, and personal growth. Listen now to discover why vulnerability is the key to healing and connection—and how we build a better world through radical, consistent love.
