Leadership is not defined when it’s easy—it’s revealed when it’s difficult.

In this episode of The GHRITS Podcast, Mindy Brown challenges leaders to return to first principles: doing the right thing, even when it costs you. True leadership is built on character, not convenience, and the moments that test you are the moments that define you.

Using the GHRITS framework—Gratitude, Hope, Resilience, Intuition, Tenacity, and Significance—**this episode explores how hope grounds leaders in uncertainty, why integrity always rises to the top, and how protecting people is the highest form of leadership.

If you are facing hard decisions, standing alone, or choosing principle over popularity, this episode will meet you where you are and challenge you to lead with conviction.
