Today on the Radiant Revolution podcast, Kim sits down with leadership coach and author Travis Dalrymple, whose journey spans from America’s Got Talent to building businesses, mentoring entrepreneurs, and now writing the straight-talking book How to Suck as a Leader: 15 Mistakes Leaders Make and How to Fix Them.

In this conversation, Travis and Kim get real about what leadership actually looks like in practice, without the jargon, fluff, or hustle-culture hype. Travis shares lessons from his own path and from mentoring hundreds of leaders, with practical tools you can use to grow as a business owner, team leader, or entrepreneur.

Inside this episode:

• The inspiration behind How to Suck as a Leader and why simplicity matters
• How to balance intuition, data, and decision-making in business
• Why “being a fucking human” is the ultimate leadership value

• Why emotional regulation and curiosity are non-negotiable leadership skills
• How comparison traps and self-sabotage derail leaders (and what to do instead)
• The link between health, space, and sustainable leadership
• The real difference between six, seven, and eight-figure business leaders

Whether you’re managing a team, scaling a business, or just trying to be a more grounded and effective leader, this conversation is packed with actionable wisdom, humor, and refreshing honesty.
