ABOUT THE SERVING SECOND PODCAST

Serving Second is where we celebrate the unsung heroes of leadership, the associates, the VPs, the chiefs of staff, the right hands, the steady ones who make the mission move.

Join Dr. Toussaint Williams and guests for real conversations about the wins, the weight, and the behind-the-scenes reality of leading without being the headline. This is not hype. It’s practical coaching, honest stories, and faith-rooted perspective to help second-chair leaders create first-place outcomes.

We talk leadership, identity, decision-making, confidence, communication, and calling, plus the real life stuff that comes with carrying responsibility at work and at home.

The mission: The mission you serve is bigger than your title. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, under-credited, or stretched thin, this is for you.
