In Episode 448 of the Follow 2 Lead Podcast, Tony Miltenberger sits down with Mike Foster for a powerful conversation about how to lead effectively without a formal title or position of authority.
Mike reframes leadership around influence rather than title, challenging listeners to stop waiting for permission and start creating impact where they already are. Together, Tony and Mike explore how curiosity, empathy, and strong questions help leaders influence others in a healthy way without forcing an agenda.
The conversation also dives into Mike’s Seven Primal Questions framework and how understanding the deeper question driving your life can transform the way you lead, relate, and communicate. Mike explains why self-awareness matters, how primal questions shape marriages and team dynamics, and why great leaders learn to answer the deeper needs of the people around them.
Tony and Mike also discuss the transition from ministry into executive coaching, discerning when it’s time to make a big change, and the simple but essential disciplines that keep leaders grounded: sleep, movement, hydration, and nourishment.
This episode is a practical and deeply insightful guide for leaders who want to grow their influence, understand themselves better, and lead with clarity, health, and intention.
