She had the apartment, the travel, the income, the friends — everything that should've meant she'd "made it." Then she fell 20 feet and everything stopped.

Christie Garcia is a leadership coach, Forbes Coaches Council contributor, founder of the Mindful Choice Leadership Academy, and author of Your Ego Is Showing.

In this episode, she and host Tyler Dickerhoof, unpack the three ego types — the Complier, the Protector, and the Controller — and why every single one of them is just insecurity wearing a costume.

They get into why "self-awareness" isn't the same as ownership, why high achievers are often the most insecure people in the room, and why your ego thrives in the climb but sabotages you the moment you become a leader, a parent, or a partner.

Christie also shares the framework she now uses to help executives — and her own kids — recognize when their ego is driving instead of them.

If you've ever wondered why success didn't fix the thing you thought it would, this conversation will hit close to home.

What if the life that looks perfect from the outside is the one making you miserable on the inside? Christina Lecuyer spent over a decade playing golf with CEOs and executives — and discovered that the people who'd "made it" were often the least happy people she knew.

Now a consultant and host of Decide, It's Your Turn, Christina works with wildly successful people who have the house, the money, the title... and still feel empty.

In this episode, host Tyler Dickerhoof and Christina dig into why people are so afraid of gratitude, why the "secret" to success is really just doing small, boring things over and over again, and why indecision is itself a decision (one that quietly costs you the most).

Christina also opens up about turning down a $2 million contract because she was crystal clear on what actually mattered to her and why most people never get that clear.

If you've ever wondered why having everything doesn't feel like enough, this conversation is for you.

What do you do when you can't bring yourself to confess, so you pray that God will expose you instead?

Jeremy Foster built a church from zero to 14,000 people across five campuses in five years. By every external measure, he was winning. Then came an affair, a year of lying about it, and a prayer he'd never said out loud before: if I can't confess this, expose it.

God did.

In this conversation, Jeremy and show host Tyler Dickerhoof get into the limiting belief underneath the hiding ("I'm not good enough"), the phone call from John Maxwell that changed everything, and why pride often sounds like "I've got it, don't worry about me."

They talk about what it actually costs to let someone help you when you can't help yourself and why success without significance is just an empty win.

If you're carrying something, hiding something, or pretending you're fine when you're not, this one's for you.

What You Hide Controls You

Most leaders don't realize they're hiding anything.

Most call it drive, standards, or even professionalism. But underneath every wall a leader builds — the intensity, the distance, the silence, the stillness — is a wound that never got named.

In this episode, host Tyler Dickerhoof reads from the opening chapters of his new book, The Things We Hide — including the foreword written by John C. Maxwell — and takes you inside the moments that built his own walls. A brother's death at fourteen. Years of rejection and ridicule. The slow, quiet decision to stop letting people in.

This episode covers:

This episode is a window into the work — raw, honest, and closer to home than most leaders are comfortable with.

Chris Hallberg — Military veteran, EOS implementer, and the Business Sergeant — has built a reputation for walking into broken companies and transforming their cultures. But behind the tough exterior was decades of unhealed trauma that quietly shaped everything. In this episode, Chris and host Tyler Dickerhoof go deep on what it really means to lead authentically — from the structure of military service that channeled Chris's ADHD energy, to the week in Costa Rica that cracked open 40 years of pain and changed the way he leads, coaches, and lives. Together, they explore why the toughest leaders are often the most wounded, what it looks like to build a culture that protects great people by excluding the wrong ones, and why authenticity — not intensity — is the real driver of lasting change.
