My granddad called me Bug, claimed he was "mean as a snake," and once decided that changing a timing belt was the perfect way for a 17-year-old girl to spend her Saturday.
Let's just say I had other plans.
But somewhere between those Saturdays in his shop, years of leading teams, and starting a podcast, I realized just how much of his advice stuck with me.
In this episode of Unboxed, we're talking about starting over, being a beginner again, and why having experience doesn't mean having all the answers.
Turns out, confidence isn't knowing exactly what you're doing. It's trusting yourself to figure it out.
And apparently, Granddad is still winning arguments.
Think bigger. Lead better. Live unboxed.
We all like to believe we're good people, but what happens when doing the right thing isn't the easy thing? In this first episode of Unboxed, Tonya McCoy explores the difference between being nice and having character, why being right doesn't always mean handling things right, and how our choices affect the people around us. With personal stories, a little humor, and some uncomfortable truths, it's a conversation about who we are when life puts us to the test.

UNBOXED WITH TONYA MCCOY
Life. Leadership. And Everything In Between.
Ever wonder if everyone else has life figured out, or if we're all just making it up as we go?
Welcome to Unboxed, where Tonya McCoy brings humor, honesty, a little sarcasm, and plenty of perspective to the conversations we don't always have...but probably should.
From leadership and relationships to personal growth, tough decisions, unexpected detours, and everything in between, we're tackling real-life experiences without sugarcoating the messy parts.
Expect candid conversations, different perspectives, a few uncomfortable truths, and plenty of laughs. You might walk away with a new idea, a different outlook, or simply the reassurance that you're not the only one figuring things out along the way.
Because sometimes the best conversations aren't about having the right answers. They're about asking better questions.
Real life. Real conversations. No boxes required.
