In this episode, Nick and Steve chat about vulnerability, why it's so important while simultaneously so hard to demonstrate, and how it can help lead us through fear and transform us into better leaders. There's also a HUGE TWIST in Nick's story towards the end of this episode as he provides a real-world example of vulnerability in action.
