What do you get when you cross a military-trained marketer, a cooperative utility leader, and someone who casually drops wisdom like, “You can’t micromanage greatness?" You get Chris Todd.

In this episode, we discuss servant leadership, building trust by owning your mistakes, and why psychological safety is non-negotiable for a team that thrives. Chris also shares how releasing sheep under solar panels is part of their innovative, community-first approach (yes, you read that right).

If you’re leading a team, or want to, this episode is packed with stories, strategy, and the kind of practical wisdom you’ll want to quote in your next meeting.

“A great leader is someone whose impact is still felt even after they leave.” ~ Chris
