    Episode 40 | Road Session 3

    Have you ever been around something—or someone—for so long that you stop truly seeing its value? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore how easily familiarity can turn into taking things for granted. From relationships to responsibilities, we unpack how this mindset quietly shapes our everyday lives—especially our leadership. When gratitude fades, ingratitude can take its place, often without us realizing it. This conversation challenges us to pause, reflect, and intentionally rediscover appreciation, because taking people or opportunities for granted is the last thing we want to do in our life and leadership.  These episodes are recorded while rolling down the highway, taking advantage of some windshield time. Raw, real, and rolling at 70mph [or so]. Conversations straight from the highway with road noise and real talk. Buckle up for current thoughts, real insights, and the kind of content you didn’t know you needed.

    Episode 39 | Road Session 2

    In this Road Session episode, we dive headfirst into the wonderfully annoying world of frustration—you know, that feeling when your plans fall apart, your Wi-Fi quits on you, or life just says “you're going to be stuck for awhile!” But instead of letting those moments send us into a spiral, we’re flipping the script. We explore how frustration can actually be fuel for creativity, clarity, and purposeful action. If you’ve ever yelled “WHY?!” at anything in life, this episode is your new inspiration.

    Episode 38 | Don't Waste a Good Crisis - Part 4

    Crisis has a funny way of flipping the table on life as we know it. Suddenly, the rules change and everything around us changes, including our context. In this last episode of a four-part series, we talk about what happens when things fall apart and how to roll with it, grow from it, and maybe even laugh through it. Because when the world shifts, we’ve got two choices: morph or dwarf. Let’s choose morph.

    Episode 31 | Understated Difference Makers! Part 1: The Messiest Quality of Leadership!

    We kicked off a three-episode series chatting about qualities that effective leaders practice. Some do it intentionally and some do it because it is just simply who they are. The interesting thing is that when I ask people to tell me about their favorite leader or about great leadership qualities, they never use these three words. But, everything they tell me falls under one of these three categories.
