In this episode of Hold The Standard, host Logan Gelbrich sits down with developmental psychologist, educator, and leadership coach Dr. Cara Miller for a transformative conversation about how we learn, grow, and lead. Together, they explore the journey from a socialized mind—where we follow external scripts and expectations—toward self-authorship, where we begin to write our own stories, make our own meaning, and lead with intention.

Dr. Miller shares powerful insights on:

• How traditional education and institutions reward conformity over curiosity

• The liberating shift from consuming knowledge to producing original thought

• The role of curiosity, commitment, and deliberate practice in developmental growth

• What it truly means to be a leader who can hold space for complexity, ambiguity, and transformation

• How to build organizations that prioritize learning, reflection, and conscious evolution

This episode will challenge your assumptions about learning, leadership, and identity—and offer a powerful framework for becoming the kind of person and leader who doesn’t just follow the rules, but knows when and how to rewrite them.
