    What Makes a Real Leader? | Mike LeBlanc

    Does having followers make you a leader—or does leadership show up in how you develop the people around you? NaRon Tillman sits down with robotics entrepreneur and Marine veteran Mike LeBlanc to explore leadership beyond charisma, titles, and winning at any cost. Drawing on his military experience and work building robotics companies, Mike shares why understanding human nature, finding common ground, and developing your team matter. The conversation also explores humanoid robots, the questions automation raises about work, and the personal qualities Mike believes will remain valuable as technology changes. In This Episode: • Separating popularity and authority from real leadership • Why how you win matters as much as the result • Closing the gap between leaders and the people they serve • How humanoid robots could reshape work • Examining the opportunities and costs of automation • Developing integrity, perspective, and self-regulation Key Insight: Leadership is measured by more than the scoreboard. It also shows up in the people you develop and the culture you build along the way. Your Next Move: Choose one person on your team whose experience differs from yours. Ask what you may be missing, listen without defending your position, and identify one action you can take together.

    How to Turn Your Ideas Into a Business With AI | Alex Mehr

    What business idea have you been putting off because you think you lack the skills, time, or resources to build it? NaRon Tillman sits down with Famous.ai co-founder Alex Mehr to explore how AI tools can help entrepreneurs test ideas—and why the willingness to try still begins with mindset. Alex shares his transition from engineering research into entrepreneurship, explains his regret minimization framework, and offers a practical way to explore new interests without committing years to an untested idea. Together, they discuss imagination, identity, customer feedback, and taking more swings while staying accountable to a clear milestone. In This Episode: • Breaking out of labels that limit your potential • Using AI to move from an idea to a testable product • Applying the regret minimization framework • Setting deadlines and milestones for new experiments • Learning from customer feedback and repeated attempts • Focusing on what you can control as technology changes Key Insight: Better tools create opportunities, but action still requires human agency. Give an idea a defined window, test it, and use what you learn to decide your next move. Your Next Move: Choose one idea you have been postponing.

    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.
