The Impact of Leadership

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want... is you?

In this powerful episode of The Impact of Leadership Podcast, Patrick Booth sits down with Christy Siegle for an honest conversation about personal responsibility, mindset, growth, and the courage it takes to stop making excuses and start creating change. Christy shares practical insights and hard-earned wisdom on overcoming self-imposed limitations, embracing accountability, and becoming the leader God created you to be.

Whether you're leading a business, a family, or simply trying to become the best version of yourself, this episode will challenge you to look in the mirror, take ownership, and move forward with purpose.

Have you ever heard the term "Carefrontation"?

Neither had I.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Trevor Bullock, we dive into one of the most powerful leadership concepts I've heard in years: the idea that the most caring thing you can do for someone is tell them the truth with love.

Together, we discuss difficult conversations, company culture, accountability, faith-based leadership, healthy organizations, coaching versus coaching out, and how great leaders help people grow instead of simply keeping them comfortable.

If you're a business owner, CEO, manager, parent, or anyone seeking to lead people well, this episode will challenge you to rethink what leadership truly looks like.

The goal isn't confrontation. The goal is Carefrontation.

Tune in and discover why some of the hardest conversations in life often become the most impactful.

Remember: No One Drifts Into Excellence.

He was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies and was closer to the Major Leagues than most people will ever get.

Then he walked away.

In this episode of The Impact of Leadership, Patrick sits down with Trevor Bullock to discuss his journey from standout college athlete to professional baseball player, and ultimately, why he chose faith, family, and purpose over chasing a Major League dream.

We talk about:

• The dangers of tying your identity to success
• What baseball taught Trevor about leadership
• Raising kids while balancing work and family
• Taking leaps of faith when the future is uncertain
• Why achievement alone will never bring fulfillment

This isn't just a conversation about baseball.

It's a conversation about purpose, leadership, legacy, and having the courage to follow the path God is calling you to take.

Don't miss Part 1 with Trevor Bullock.

Sometimes the most courageous thing you'll ever do is walk away from something good to pursue something greater.

In Part 1, Brett Myles shared his incredible journey of faith, obedience, and finding the courage to leave what was comfortable. We talked about identity, calling, assignment, and what happens when God begins stirring your heart toward something new.

But here's the question every leader eventually faces:

Once you've stepped into that new season, how do you lead well?

The reality is that most leadership challenges aren't caused by a lack of intelligence, experience, or effort. They're caused by blind spots—things we can't see about ourselves, our leadership style, or the culture we're creating around us.

Many leaders think they're communicating clearly, supporting their teams, and building trust, while the people around them are experiencing something completely different.

In this episode, Brett and I dive deep into what may be the most important leadership skill of all: self-awareness.

We'll explore why activity doesn't always equal progress, how perfectionism can secretly hold leaders back, why culture problems are often symptoms of deeper issues, and how the best leaders balance both support and challenge to help their teams grow.

You'll also hear Brett unpack one of the most powerful leadership frameworks I've encountered—the Support and Challenge Matrix—and why understanding how people experience you may be the key to unlocking the full potential of your team.

If you've ever wondered why communication breaks down, why trust is difficult to build, or why good people sometimes leave organizations, this conversation is for you.

Because often the biggest obstacle to growth isn't what we can see.

It's the leader's blind spot.

Have you ever found yourself in a place that was good, meaningful, and even successful, yet deep inside you sensed God might be calling you to something more? Not because anything was wrong, but because a season was coming to an end.

Leaving what's comfortable is one of the hardest things we'll ever do. We love certainty. We love predictable paychecks, familiar routines, and knowing what tomorrow looks like. But growth rarely happens inside our comfort zones, and often God's greatest plans begin when we're willing to trust Him beyond what we can see.

In this episode, I sit down with Brett Myles, founder of Leadwell, leadership coach, husband, father, and former ministry leader. Brett shares his remarkable journey from dreams of playing baseball, to serving in ministry for more than a decade, to taking a leap of faith into the unknown world of leadership development and entrepreneurship.

What makes Brett's story so powerful is that he wasn't running from something—he was being pulled toward something. He loved the ministry he was serving in. He loved the people. He loved the mission. Yet God was stirring his heart and teaching him a life-changing lesson about the difference between his identity, his calling, and his assignment.

As you'll hear, courage isn't the absence of fear. Courage is taking the next step when fear is present. It's trusting God's voice when the path isn't fully clear. It's believing that the same God who calls you is also the God who provides for you.

Whether you're questioning your next career move, wrestling with a life transition, sensing a new calling, or simply wondering if you're exactly where God wants you to be, Brett's story will encourage you to take a closer look at the doors God may already be opening around you.

My mom used to tell me, "God's fingerprints are all over your life—you

just have to look for them." Brett's story is a powerful reminder that when we're willing to leave what's comfortable and follow where God is leading, we often discover that His fingerprints were guiding us all along.

So join us for Part 1 of this conversation as Brett Myles shares his journey of faith, obedience, leadership, and the courage to leave what's comfortable.

What happens when you achieve the dream every entrepreneur talks about… only to discover it wasn’t the answer you were looking for?

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Patrick Booth sits down with Jim Kohlhardt, President of Saturn Lounge, to discuss the future of marketing, AI, leadership, culture, and one of the most remarkable business stories you’ll ever hear.

Jim shares why your website may be your most valuable sales asset, how leaders can avoid wasting money on marketing that no longer works, and why visibility matters more than ever in an AI-driven world.

He also reveals the keys to building high-performing teams, creating a culture where people thrive, and leading without micromanaging.

But the heart of this episode is Jim’s incredible faith journey.

After selling the business he spent decades building, Jim discovered that financial success didn’t bring the fulfillment he expected. Then, through an unexpected series of events, God made a way for him to buy the company back and continue the mission he thought was over.

This episode is packed with practical business wisdom, leadership insights, and a powerful reminder that sometimes God’s greatest plans are revealed through the detours we never saw coming.

If you’re a business owner, CEO, entrepreneur, marketer, or leader navigating change, this conversation will challenge your thinking, strengthen your faith, and inspire you to trust God’s timing.

What if the reason your marketing isn’t working has nothing to do with your budget, your website, or your social media strategy?

What if people simply don’t connect with what you’re selling because they don’t understand the story behind it?

In this episode of The Impact of Leadership Podcast, Patrick sits down with Jim Kohlhardt, President and CEO of Saturn Lounge, to explore why the most successful businesses don’t focus on selling—they focus on storytelling.

Jim shares his remarkable journey from being adopted as a newborn to discovering the importance of purpose-driven work, authentic leadership, and building a business around beliefs rather than transactions. Along the way, he reveals how faith, family, and lessons learned through adversity shaped his approach to leadership and marketing.

Together, Patrick and Jim discuss how AI is reshaping the marketing landscape, why authenticity is becoming a company’s greatest competitive advantage, and how organizations can create deeper trust by communicating not just what they do, but why they do it.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that people are overwhelmed with advertisements, sales messages, and digital noise. They don’t want another sales pitch—they want a connection. They want to know your values, your mission, and the story behind your business.

The meaning behind “Stop Selling. Start Storytelling.” is simple: People may buy what you sell, but they connect with the story behind it. When leaders communicate purpose, passion, and authenticity, they build trust. And trust is what ultimately drives relationships, loyalty, growth, and impact.

In a world increasingly driven by technology and AI, the businesses that stand out won’t necessarily be the loudest—they’ll be the most authentic.

If you’re a business owner, leader, entrepreneur, marketer, or communicator looking to make a bigger impact, this episode will challenge the way you think about leadership, marketing, and the power of a story worth telling.

Because people don’t connect with what you do nearly as much as they connect with why you do it.

If you listened to Part 1, you got the foundation.
You heard what EOS is, how it works, and why so many companies are using it to bring clarity and structure into their business.

But now…

We’re going to get real.

Because here’s the truth—everything we talked about in Part 1 sounds great…
until you actually have to live it.

Until you’re the one being asked to:

• Let go of control
• Trust your team in ways you’re not comfortable with
• Sit in meetings that demand accountability
• And follow a system that, at times, can feel… restrictive

And I’ll be honest with you…

That’s where I’ve struggled.

So in this episode, I’m doing something a little different. I’m not just hosting—I’m pushing back. I’m asking the questions that every CEO, every visionary, every leader is thinking but doesn’t always say out loud.

Questions like:

• Is EOS too rigid?
• What happens when your team doesn’t fully buy in?
• What if you don’t have the right people yet?
• And am I—the leader—the one actually getting in the way?

We get into delegation and the reality of letting go…
we talk about fear, ego, and why leaders hold onto things way longer than they should…
and we unpack what it really looks like to build a business that doesn’t depend on you for everything.

So if Part 1 helped you understand EOS…

Part 2 is going to challenge you.

And I’ll tell you right now—this is where it clicked for me.
