    How to Turn Brilliant Jerks Into Better Leaders | Dr. Katrina Burrus

    Can a leader deliver great results and still damage the people who make those results possible?   NaRon Tillman sits down with executive coach Dr. Katrina Burrus, author of Managing Brilliant Jerks, to explore how technically gifted but abrasive leaders can develop the emotional intelligence to lead more effectively.   Dr. Burrus explains her progression from self-awareness to boss awareness and stakeholder awareness. The conversation examines how feedback reveals leadership blind spots, why organizations must support behavior change, and how leaders can manage triggers without lowering their standards.   In This Episode: • The difference between a demanding boss and a toxic leader • Why expertise and high IQ do not guarantee emotional intelligence • Using feedback to close the gap between intention and impact • Self-awareness, boss awareness, and stakeholder awareness • Managing emotional triggers and giving constructive feedback • How leadership identity affects work and personal relationships   Key Insight: High standards and respect can work together. Effective leaders address the task, help people improve, and take responsibility for the impact of their behavior.   Your Next Move: Ask someone you lead: “What is one thing I do that helps you succeed—and one thing that makes your work harder?” Listen before defending your intention.   Follow Walk In Victory and share this episode with a leader or team member who needs it.

    Why More Views Don’t Mean More Money | Jeremy Norrie

    What good is a million views if you still can’t build a sustainable creative business?   NaRon Tillman sits down with independent filmmaker Jeremy Norrie to explore the business behind content creation: ownership, streaming revenue, personal branding, and the uncertainty of earning a living on platforms you don’t control.   Jeremy shares why some of his older projects outperform newer, more polished work—and why chasing a viral formula can leave creators frustrated. Together, they examine how AI is changing film and music, where human creativity still holds value, and why a direct relationship with your audience matters.   In This Episode: • The tradeoffs between exposure, revenue, and creative independence • How streaming and film distribution affect creator income • Why creators need to build their own personal brand • Why better production doesn’t always bring better returns • AI’s opportunities and challenges for artists and filmmakers • Building a community beyond the algorithm   Key Insight: Views are attention. A sustainable creative business also needs ownership, business awareness, and people who value your work enough to support it.   Your Next Move: Identify one way to deepen your connection with your audience beyond a platform feed. Start with a conversation, an email list, or a community space you manage.   Follow Walk In Victory, share this episode with a creator, and explore Victory Builders at walkinvictory.me.   Connect with Jeremy Norrie — Sky Island Storytelling: Website: http://theskyisland.com/ Instagram: http://instagram.com/skyislandstorytelling YouTube: http://youtube.com/skyislandstorytellingbts X / Twitter: http://twitter.com/skyislandstorys Facebook: http://facebook.com/skyislandstorytelling Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/walk-in-victory--4078479/support.

    Why Information Alone Doesn’t Transform People | Dave Chametzky

    Why do some people have access to all the right information and still struggle to change?   Transformation requires more than advice. It requires presence, consistency, resilience, and mentorship rooted in lived experience.   In this episode of the Walk In Victory Podcast, NaRon Tillman sits down with heart-centered mentor and Havening practitioner Dave Chametzky to explore the difference between transactional mentorship and genuinely walking with someone through transformation.   Dave shares how his own mental-health challenges and life experiences shaped the way he approaches mentoring, emotional healing, and personal development. The conversation examines why people hit growth plateaus, how mindset affects progress, and why being present with another person can sometimes matter more than simply giving them another strategy.   In This Episode:   • Why information alone doesn’t create transformation • Transactional mentorship vs. heart-centered mentorship • How lived experience changes the way we lead and coach • Mental resilience and emotional healing • Why people reach growth plateaus • The role of consistency in personal and professional growth • Present-moment awareness and authentic connection • Turning personal challenges into service   Key Insight People don’t always need more information. Sometimes they need someone capable of helping them process what they already know, remain present through the difficult work, and turn knowledge into lived transformation.   About Dave Chametzky Dave Chametzky is a heart-centered mentor, Havening practitioner, and podcast host whose work draws from lived experience, resilience, emotional healing, and personal transformation.   Connect with Dave Chametzky: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-chametzky-a933b32/?skipRedirect=true Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/walk-in-victory--4078479/support.

    Why AI Fails Without Proper Business Structure | Patrick Bell

    AI will not fix a broken business system. It will expose it. NaRon Tillman sits down with AI transformation strategist and business growth consultant Patrick Bell to examine why companies struggle when they adopt AI without clear ownership, accountability, visibility, and operational structure. They discuss the business blind spots that technology cannot solve, why content and automation must connect to measurable outcomes, and how leaders can use AI without creating more chaos. In This Episode: • Why AI exposes weak business systems • AI implementation and organizational accountability • Why ownership and visibility matter • Connecting automation to business outcomes • Avoiding AI tools without strategy Key Insight: AI transformation starts with business clarity. Technology amplifies the system already in place—it does not replace leadership, structure, or sound decision-making.
