🙌🏽 Surrender Isn’t Weakness...It’s How I’m Leading Now
đź“ť Episode Summary:
In this episode, I share the word that unexpectedly chose me for the year: Surrender.
The JammFam surrendering to a bunch of Storm Troopers :)
—
What started as a pull from a leadership deck has become a guiding force through business growth, parenting, and the pursuit of impossible dreams. I talk about what surrender really means, how it differs from will and willpower, and why this distinction might be the missing link in creating and pursuing impossible goals.
You’ll hear about a warrior who meets his match in a quiet monk, what I learned when my son landed in the ER while I was 300 miles away, and how letting go of control is shaping how I build, lead, and live.
✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
* The difference between will and willpower, and how to embody the former without burning out on the latter
* Why surrender doesn’t mean quitting, but stepping into greater alignment
* How pursuing impossible goals can expand your soul, even if you don’t hit the mark (yet)
đź“– Quotes and sources woven throughout:
* “Willpower is for people who haven’t made a decision.” — Dr. Benjamin Hardy
* “Not my will, but yours be done.” — Jesus, Garden of Gethsemane
* “Surrender is not the opposite of will. It is the completion of it.” — Jack Kornfield
đź’¬ Disclosure:
This episode was crafted through an iterative collaboration with ChatGPT. Since 2017, I’ve published 177 pieces of writing. In 2021, I began experimenting with AI, and at times felt a blur between my voice and the tool. So I made a commitment to transparency. This script was shaped by my own voice and experiences, supported by AI as a creative mirror. The stories, soul, and vulnerability are mine.

By You set the goals. You put in the work. You crossed the finish line. But what happens after success? Does it feel the way you thought it would? Does it change you? Or does it just leave you looking for the next thing?đź“ť Episode Summary:
