“I appreciate you keeping me safe, but I’m good… I can cross the street, I can go to college, I can leave town, I can try this new job… I can even fail! And I’ll be okay.”

In this episode, I hope you take away a lot of beautiful realizations as much as I did talking to this week’s wonderful guest. We get vulnerable and speak openly about what we think it takes to be a better leader based on our own experiences. We talk about leadership, the art of growing up, his book called Reboot which I highly recommend, and a new book coming later this year called “Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong” which he teased was a “powerful book to write” and that he is very proud of it…

Joining me on the mic is someone who has been on The Tim Ferris Show, The EntreLeadership Podcast with Dave Ramsey, and so many other reputable podcasts, and is now on The Leaders Lab to share his wisdom with our audience. Enjoy.
