In this episode, I dive into one of the most important topics in business—leadership. I share why I believe leaders can’t just tell their teams what to do... they have to lead from the front. I’ll walk you through some of my own experiences, the mistakes I’ve made, and the lessons I’ve learned about trust, example, and accountability. We’ll talk about how the culture of your company always starts at the top, why your team is a reflection of you, and how building a strong foundation of leadership can transform your small business. If you’ve ever wondered how to inspire your team to follow your lead—not just your words—this episode will hit home.
