    Why Smart Leaders Lose Their Team’s Trust Without Realizing It

    Most leaders believe trust is earned through vision, values, and competence. It isn’t. People don’t trust your words. They trust your patterns. In this LIVE conversation, I break down why smart, capable leaders lose their team’s trust without realizing it and what separates leaders people follow from leaders people quietly manage around. You’ll learn: The subtle behaviors that cause teams to filter the truthWhy mission-driven leadership fails under pressureHow your reactions, not your intentions, define your leadershipThe difference between being respected and being accommodatedA practical framework to lead with calm, consistency, and authorityThis isn’t about being nicer. It’s not about lowering standards. And it’s not about abandoning your mission. It’s about leading in a way people trust when it matters most. FROM THE EPISODE: The Practical Tool: The Fire Mirror Audit After any tense moment, ask: What triggered me?Which fire showed up?What truth was exposed?What needs repair, ownership, or a boundary?

    Life Is A Mirror: Why Your Triggers Are Costing You Power, Profit And Peace

    Most men are playing victim and blame everything around them. Her. The kids. The employees. The economy. Meanwhile their body is softening, their relationship is flat, the business is stuck and they keep attracting the same chaos in different clothing. In this solo episode, Cletus breaks down one of the core Be The Torch principles: life is a mirror, not a verdict. Your results in business, your body, your relationships and your bank account are feedback, not a life sentence. You’ll hear Cletus walk through: Why your relationship, bank account and body are a scoreboard that only shows feedbackHow victim mindset quietly weakens men and kills leadership at home and in businessThe real reason you keep attracting the same toxic relationship or bad hires on your teamHow to use triggers as a signal instead of a reason to explode or shut downWhat it looks like to live with standards, a personal code and real self respectHow to become the dad your kids can trust when they screw up, not the one they fearThis is straight talk for driven dad entrepreneurs who are tired of repeating the same patterns in their marriage, dating, co parenting and business. 🔹 Ready to stop playing the blame game and build standards you actually live by?

    The Legacy Lie: Why Your Money & Business Won't Set Your Kids Free

    Most men believe that the best legacy they can leave behind is financial—wealth, inheritance, or handing over the family business. But here's the truth: that mindset might be hurting your children more than helping them. In this episode, I reveal the three powerful shifts every man must make if he truly wants to leave a legacy of freedom, fulfillment, and happiness: Possibility Over WealthCharacter Over ComfortFreedom Over SecurityYour kids didn’t come here to repeat your path. They came to learn their own lessons, through their own struggle, setbacks, and self-discovery. By trying to pave the road for them, you might be robbing them of the very strength they need to succeed. This episode will challenge everything you think you know about legacy, and give you a powerful new lens to lead your family forward.
