Jody and Morgon share a passion for leadership, love, and people. “That L Word” is their brainchild born over the best Mexican food downtown Jacksonville, NC has to offer and is meant to evoke the word, “Love” in the same conversation as, “Leadership.” We believe that leadership and love belong in the same sentence and aren’t afraid to cut past the noise and talk about what really matters. 

On “That L Word” we talk about love, empathy, trust, loyalty, listening, life, and ALL of the other things that people are afraid to say out loud in the same sentence with leadership. Leadership is ALL about people and people have feelings, leaders included - so get in here! Sit down and let’s talk about the stuff that might make you uncomfortable, but will absolutely make you a better person and leader!

Morgon and Jody discuss what comes to mind when someone says, “That L Word?” 

“Love” is the answer most would give and some might even cringe a bit when they say it; but what about the word, “Leadership?” And what do “Love” and “Leadership” have in common? Do they belong in the same sentence? Many leaders would scoff and say the two words have absolutely no place in the same sentence. We disagree and would argue that if those two words are not in the same sentence you are probably not leading or being led well. Join us in our first episode where we start talking about all the stuff everyone else is afraid to say out loud.
