In another great episode of the Postgame, Matt and I dive deep into the concept of integrated leadership and what it means to lead in a way that reflects collaboration, authenticity, and purpose. Whether you're navigating leadership in your family, business, or community, this episode provides a framework to shift from outdated, competitive leadership models to a new paradigm grounded in self-awareness, connection, and meaningful contribution. The conversation unfolds with powerful reflections on personal growth, letting go of toxic patterns, and stepping into a greater purpose. In this episode, you’ll learn: What it means for you to embody The New Paradigm of Leadership—leading with collaboration, purpose, and abundance, rather than competition and scarcity. The three phases of stepping into authentic leadership: Severance, Initiation, and Integration, and how you can apply them to your personal and professional growth. Why leadership begins within and how developing self-awareness and inner alignment will help you lead more effectively. How to break free from limiting environments and echo chambers, to open up new possibilities for growth and leadership. The transformational power of participating in men’s work and sitting in a circle with other men for accountability and support. Practical tools and practices you can use to align your actions with your purpose while being supported by a tribe of like-minded men. This episode is all about Integrated Leadership!
