In this episode of The Courage to Live, Josh Bitsko explores the phrase “leaders are readers” and why the best leadership is learned, not inherited. From his time as a police captain to conversations with mentors, Josh shares how books expand perspective, build empathy, and sharpen clarity. He breaks down excuses leaders use to avoid reading, the value of audio books, and why even ten minutes a day matters more than you think. With practical takeaways on reading with purpose and applying just one lesson from each book, this conversation is a reminder that growth is a choice and great leaders never stop learning.
