Live Fully. Lead Authentically. A Brimstone Coaching Podcast

Your brain is wired to react before you lead. Dr. Marcia Ruben shows how to rewire that, so you stop running on autopilot and start leading with intention.

Most leaders spend years trying to fix themselves. Executive coach Dr. Marcia Rubin makes the case for a different move: accept yourself, lead from your strengths, and learn which imperfections actually matter. Host Kurt Bush talks with her about the brain science behind the habits that hold leaders back, and the practical tools to change them at any age.

How much of your life is being shaped by stories you never consciously chose?

In this episode of Live Fully. Lead Authentically., Kurt sits down with executive coach, author, and speaker Stephanie Peirolo to explore the deeper forces that influence the decisions we make every day. Together, they unpack why so many leaders get trapped in "right versus wrong" thinking, how family, culture, and organizational systems quietly shape our choices, and whyself-awareness begins with uncovering the narratives we've inherited. Stephanie also shares insights from her book, The Saint and the Drunk, offering a refreshing perspective on discernment, inner wisdom, and making decisions that align with who you truly are—not simply who you've been told to be. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, leading a team, or simply trying to understand yourself more deeply, thisconversation will invite you to slow down, question the stories you've accepted, and choose a path that is both authentic and sustainable.

What if the story you tell yourself about being judged is the very thing keeping you stuck? Kurt Bush and Chris Godfredsen unpack how leaders quietly give away their agency by letting imagined criticism, discomfort, or room dynamics dictate how they show up—and what it takes to lead with more freedom, integrity, and courage.

Kurt opens with a real leadership story about a tense meeting, a hurt conversation, and the work of choosing honesty over people-pleasing. From there, the conversation gets practical fast: when do your protective patterns actually help you, and when do they keep you from being fully present?

The results of your life, your leadership, and your relationships are not random—and that means you have more power to change them than you think. Chris Godfordson and Kurt Bushunpack the uncomfortable but freeing idea that there are no accidental outcomes, only patterns, inputs, and choices you can learn to see.

Kurt opens with the story of a brilliant process engineer who could look at a messy system and find the hidden cause of bad results without shaming the people inside it. That lesson turns into a powerful conversation about agency, self-awareness, andwhat happens when you stop saying, “That’s just how I am.”

Most leaders do not need more advice. They need a way to quiet the noise long enough to hear what actually matters. Rebecca Wilson shows how mindfulness becomes a practicalleadership tool - one that helps high performers make better decisions, stay grounded under pressure, and lead with more presence, clarity, and impact.

Rebecca is an award-winning executive coach, speaker, and mindfulness teacher who works with executives, founders, and change makers. In this conversation, she explains why being the "spaceholder" often creates more transformation than beingthe expert in the room, and how group coaching and community can unlock insights no solo framework ever could.
