This week, Stephen is joined by April Martini and Anne Candido. April and Anne are the authors of The Power of Your Personal Brand: A Playbook for Struggling Middle Managers Who Want to Do Big Things, and co-founders of ForthRight People, a leadership performance company focused on building high-performing leaders from the inside out. They believe a leader's Personal Brand is their greatest competitive advantage - and when understood and activated intentionally, it becomes a powerful driver of influence, credibility, and impact in pursuit of a leader's "Big Thing."

Together, they challenge the idea that Personal Brand is something you manufacture. Instead, they teach leaders how to uncover what's already there - and use it to guide decisions, shape presence, and accelerate growth for themselves, their teams, and their organizations.

Stephen's guest this week is Christopher Hossfeld. Chris didn't learn leadership in a classroom—he spent nearly 30 years in environments where waiting wasn't an option and getting it wrong had major consequences. A retired U.S. Army Colonel, combat veteran, and former faculty member at the Army War College, Chris built his career leading in high-pressure situations where information was incomplete and decisions had to be made anyway. That's where he learned how leaders actually think, decide, and perform when it matters. Today, he brings those lessons into the business world as the founder of Barrel Strength Leadership. Instead of lectures, he takes executives into immersive environments—often on historic battlefields— where they step into complex decisions and work through them in real time. Chris doesn't teach leadership as theory—he puts people in positions where they have to make the call, and shows them what it takes to get it right.
