Every man casts a shadow his family lives in for generations. Is yours one of leadership or influence? Discover the difference that changes everything.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE In this powerful King's Corner segment, Lovey explores the critical difference between leadership and influence for men, husbands, and fathers. Inspired by a conversation with friend Amos, this episode challenges conventional masculine leadership and reveals why your character—not your title—creates your legacy.

KEY TOPICS COVERED: • The "shadow" every man casts over his family (and why it lasts generations) • Leadership vs. Influence: Understanding the difference • Why "because I said so" destroys your legacy • How to be emotionally present (not just physically there) • The Peter Pan metaphor: Why you need your partner to help you fly • Reflective questions every husband and father must answer

TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Introduction: The King's Corner 0:25 - The conversation that sparked this topic 2:18 - Every man casts a shadow 3:05 - What shadow did YOUR father cast? 4:10 - The trap of leadership without influence 6:54 - The shadow of influence: What it really means 8:06 - Leadership is the role, influence is the impact 9:28 - Daily examples: Are you leading or influencing? 11:41 - Qualities of healthy influence 14:46 - Building people vs. tearing them down 18:18 - 4 reflective questions for every man 20:38 - The Peter Pan lesson: Let your partner help you fly

REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1. If my family lived only by what I DO (not what I SAY), who would they become?

2. Does my home feel like a place of pressure or peace?

3. When I leave the room, what emotional temperature do I leave behind?

4. Where am I relying on my title instead of my character?

🎯 WHO THIS IS FOR:

✅ Husbands wanting to strengthen their marriage

✅ Fathers building a lasting legacy

✅ Men seeking to lead with character, not control

✅ Anyone interested in healthy masculinity and family dynamics
