In this episode of Badass Softie, Dr. J.J. Peterson unpacks Donald Miller’s Hero on a Mission framework and shows why your leadership story changes the moment you stop playing small. Through personal stories (including the time he auditioned for a Missy Elliott music video) and insights from leaders he’s worked with around the world, J.J. reveals how to step into a story of courage, growth, and impact.

Here's what you'll take away:

-Why living in the victim role keeps you stuck and powerless

-How villains are created by unhealed pain — and why their story always collapses

-The truth about heroes: they’re not fearless, they just keep going

-Why the guide role creates the most meaningful life and lasting influence

-How to recognize the role you’re playing right now and choose a better one
