What separates a good leader from a great one?

In this bold and insightful episode, Brent sits down with Limitless Leadership CEO Jenny Widman to uncover the real work of becoming a high-impact leader. From the daily habits that build trust to the hard truths behind toxic leadership, they unpack what it really takes to inspire, innovate, and lead with empathy in today's fast-moving world.

Whether you're a seasoned executive, a growing team leader, or someone ready to level up your influence, this conversation dives into the habits, mindset, and actions that drive effective leadership — and the excuses that quietly sabotage it.

• Why follow-through is the foundation of leadership
• How to recruit and retain A+ talent
• The surprising truth about toxic leadership (and how to deal with it)
• Why every leader is in sales — whether they know it or not
• What your schedule reveals about your values
• How trust, empathy, and vulnerability fuel lasting impact
• Why personal growth is the first step toward leading others

This is more than theory. It's real, raw, and rooted in experience.

Don't miss the part where Jenny shares the one question every leader should ask when facing resistance — and how it changes everything.

In a world full of noise, Michael Lawrence leads with something rare—quiet confidence and relentless empathy. Not sympathy. Empathy. The kind that makes people feel seen, heard, and valued—because he chooses to understand before being understood.

Michael's leadership isn't about a title. It's about the transparency, consistency, and integrity he lives every single day. He's built a culture rooted in doing what's right, setting real expectations, and making people feel important—what he calls MMFI: Make Me Feel Important. His team knows it. His family feels it. And it all works because he's built the boundaries that allow him to be fully present—wherever he is.

He talks openly about growth, the mission and vision that drives him, and how ego has no place in leadership. He's earned his humility over time, replacing pride with presence, and frustration with understanding.

"Dance with the one that brought you." That phrase anchors his leadership. Stay grounded. Stay grateful. Stay consistent.

This episode is a masterclass in how to lead with heart, hold high standards, and build a culture that thrives.

Don't miss this one—it just might change the way you lead.

In this episode, we sat down with Jason Player—executive leader, strategic integrator, and someone who's built a $200M company from the ground up. Jason's story begins with a bold move from Scotland to the U.S. at just 20 years old with one suitcase and a whole lot of ambition.

We dove into the power of perspective, humility, and the importance of not having to know all the answers as a leader. Jason shared how real leadership isn't about being the end-all-be-all—it's about believing in your people, asking for their input, and guiding them to grow alongside you.

With experience in 12 acquisitions and scaling a company to 300+ employees, Jason emphasized that leadership is about integration—not ego. His success comes from creating courageous cultures where people speak up, take ownership, and feel empowered to lead.

What if the best "peer group" isn't a boardroom—it's rigorous business accountability, brave questions that kill the echo chamber, and shared experiences that stick… capped off with the occasional cold plunge?

In this episode of Your Limitless Leadership Podcast, Brent sits down with Aaron Eggert—a community architect and relentless connector who turned a "grass-cutting idea" into Coalition 9, a lifestyle-driven leadership ecosystem that brings people together on purpose and delivers real impact. Instead of another sit-and-brag roundtable, C9 builds belonging and results through curated cohorts, meaningful events, and an online platform that blends revenue, finance, operations, and people leaders to keep everyone sharp and scrappy.

You'll hear how C9's lifestyle of leadership—connection, accountability, and experiential learning—has fueled growth for hundreds, and how C9 Gives is extending that impact through mentorship, education, and practical support for emerging businesses.
