If you're working hard to balance hormones, lower stress, and feel good in your body again, this is a must-listen.

Ever feel like you're doing everything right but still not getting the results you want—in your fitness, your health, or just life in general? In this episode, I sit down with leadership expert and author Travis to explore how our thoughts shape our actions—and ultimately, our outcomes. Whether you lead a team or just need to lead yourself to the gym, this conversation will help you understand why chasing perfection, trying to do it all alone, and believing every thought you think might be the very things holding you back. If you’ve ever said, “I should be able to do this on my own,” this one’s for you. 

Travis Dalrymple is a leadership advisor, author of How To Suck As A Leader, and the founder of The Leadership Lab—a program that helps small business owners and team leads stop managing people and start actually leading them. From placing 3rd on America’s Got Talent to leading high-performing teams in the business world, Travis blends entertainment, strategy, and real-life leadership lessons to help people become the kind of leader others actually want to follow—not just tolerate. He’s coached over 1000 entrepreneurs, fixed broken cultures, and taught teams how to lead themselves first, without the corporate jargon or BS.
