Episode 3: “Own Your Oxygen”

💬 “You can’t lead if you’re gasping for air.”

In this powerful episode of The Daily Spark, Chad Brocato explores a fundamental truth from his book Ascend: Path to Personal Excellence—that leadership starts with self-care.

We often give everything to others, especially in high-stakes roles like public safety and leadership. But without oxygen—clarity, energy, balance—we can’t lead effectively. Chad shares why investing in yourself is not selfish, it’s strategic.

🔥 Today’s Spark: Prioritize one healthy habit. Just one.

🎯 Challenge of the Day: Hydrate. Rest. Reflect. Choose one action that restores you and fuels your leadership.
