Real leadership isn’t tested in calm waters—it’s forged in the storms. In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Dixon and Phil McMichael talk with Dr. Keith McDaniel, Superintendent of Shiloh Christian School and seasoned military veteran, about what resilience really looks like, why it matters, and how to grow it—both in yourself and in teams.
Keith shares stories from his 17 years in uniform, leading schools through change, and building strong environments where young leaders don’t just survive but thrive. If you’re a young leader feeling stretched, a volunteer trying to carry too much, or someone who wants to help your team grow grit in faith and function, this conversation is for you.
