My son Tre is my hero, even at 18 months. I'm so proud of him and I'm amazed by him each and everyday. He has taught me so many things in my short time of fatherhood. In this episode, I share the three lessons in leadership that he has taught me by just observing him. He has taught me lessons of resiliency, forgiveness, and fearlessness. These three traits are traits that I believe each leader needs to have. For those of us who don't struggle in these areas, we can still improve and constantly work on them because they are so important when it comes to being an effective leader.

The NFL sent out a memo about the consequences of COVID-19 outbreaks among unvaccinated players. It has caused quite a stir amongst players, fans, and everyone in between. This episode we dive into the details of memo, but not in the way you may think. We look at this situation from two different leadership perspectives: organizational and individual. The NFL has already shown what they are going to do. Now, unvaccinated players have a choice to make on how they will respond to the memo now that they know the consequences will impact more than just themselves.
