What if the path to powerful leadership doesn’t start with strategy, but with shadow?

In this week’s episode of the ManKind Podcast, Dr. Max Klau returns to explore the deep inner work necessary to grow authentic, servant-hearted leaders at scale. Drawing from decades of experience at City Year, the New Politics Leadership Academy, and now his newest venture—the Center for Courageous Wholeness—Max unpacks how confronting our inner fears, projections, and disconnections unlocks our ability to lead with integrity and purpose.

We discuss the roots of servant leadership, how unexamined values can limit even the most well-meaning service work, and why every leader must engage their shadow to show up fully in the world. With a balance of personal insight, proven frameworks, and spiritual grounding, Max offers a clear call: to change the world, we must first do the work within.

Whether you’re a seasoned changemaker or just waking up to your call to serve, this episode will challenge and inspire you.

Check out the upcoming workshop on July 23, 2025.
