    In this powerful episode of BR!NK with Godbless, we sit down with Dr. Rhett Brown, President of Wingate University, for an honest and deeply insightful conversation on leadership, failure, mentorship, purpose, and growth. Dr. Brown shares real-life experiences from his journey — including moments where leadership decisions went wrong, how he learned to handle criticism, and the importance of self-awareness and listening as leadership superpowers. He opens up about pivotal “brink moments” in his life, from dropping out of college to feeling invisible in a temporary job, and nearly not completing his doctorate. This episode explores what it truly means to lead with humility, how to separate constructive feedback from noise, why leadership is stewardship, not ownership, and how fulfillment and ambition can coexist.

    Ep. 12 || Perseverance, Optimism, and Grit Pt. 1 || BR!NK with Godbless

    Leadership isn’t born in a title—it’s formed over time. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rhett Brown, President of Wingate University, to explore the journey behind more than a decade of leadership. We reflect on how he has changed since first stepping into the presidency, what sustained passion looks like in a world built on instant gratification, and how leaders grow when the excitement fades but the responsibility remains. Our conversation traces the formative chapters of his life—from growing up in Pelion, South Carolina, to serving in the U.S. Navy Reserves during Operation Desert Storm, to competing as a college wide receiver. Along the way, we unpack the discipline, vision, and teamwork that shaped his leadership long before he ever became president. Dr. Brown also speaks candidly about:     •    Developing love and commitment for meaningful work     •    Lessons from military service and athletics that still guide his decisions     •    A defining brink moment that tested his resolve     •    Mistakes that became unexpected turning points     •    How he thinks about fulfillment, purpose, and legacy This episode is for anyone asking deeper questions about leadership, passion, and what it really means to live a life of service—especially students and young leaders trying to focus on what truly matters. Because leadership isn’t built overnight. It’s earned—one decision, one failure, and one act of service at a time.
