Listen Later

“Whether you’re in charge of others or not, you’re always in charge of someone — and that someone is yourself.”

 

In this episode of The Shift, we sit down with Dale Walls, a former Marine turned entrepreneur, leadership consultant, and host of The Lion’s Guide Podcast. Dale opens up about the lessons that shaped his journey—from boot camp to building a leadership consultancy—and how embracing discipline, responsibility, and self-leadership transformed his life.

 

We talk about:

• The difference between leading others and leading yourself

• How Dale overcame the chaos of his early entrepreneurial years

• Why leadership starts long before you’re “in charge”

• Tactical frameworks he teaches business owners to scale with clarity and integrity

 

Dale’s mission is to equip people to live their best lives, lead with purpose, and leave a legacy—and this conversation is packed with mindset-shifting insight you’ll want to take notes on.

 

From bootcamp lessons to the boardroom, Dale breaks down how military principles shaped his leadership style, how to cultivate discipline without burnout, and how to unlock the high-performing version of yourself.
