In this episode, I sit down with Kevin D'Anna to dig into what real leadership looks like — not titles, not ego, but the standards you live by when nobody's around.

We talk about influence, accountability, insecurity disguised as leadership, and why simplicity and clarity matter more than complexity in the trades. Kevin shares the lessons that shaped him as a leader, a father, and a business owner, along with the hard mistakes that taught him how to build teams built on trust instead of fear.

If you want a conversation rooted in real blue-collar experience, real adversity, and real leadership — this is it.

Key Topics:

• Leading people vs. managing tasks
• Why insecurity shows up as fake leadership
• Clarity and simplicity as tools for better communication
• How adversity sharpens character, standards, and influence
