    Why Fear, Lust, Anger, and Pride Quiet Your Vision

    Let me know what you think of this episode? How fear, lust, anger, and pride quietly hijack leadershipF ormer pro hockey player, Air Force veteran, and Christian marketing founder Dr. Dave Jones reveals the hidden motivators that can derail your decisions, distort your identity, and bury the vision you think you’re pursuing. If you’re leading a team, building a business, or trying to make sense of the tension between calling and pressure, this conversation will hit home fast.Dave shares the unlikely path that took him from being a bullheaded athlete to a surrendered leader, including the slap shot that shattered his nose and changed everything. From there, he and Dorsey unpack the FLAP framework from Dave’s book Plan to Win - fear, lust, anger, and pride - and why those four forces are so effective at pulling leaders off course. You’ll discover:   Why fear can look like wisdom, responsibility, or “being realistic”  How lust expands beyond pornography into people, power, and possessions  Why pride is the most expensive motivator because it hides so well  The difference between true mental toughness and simply ignoring the issue  How to spot when your vision has gone quiet under the noise of distraction  What Dave calls Holy Spirit Intelligence, and the checks and balances he uses before acting on what he believes God is saying  Dave also opens up about identity, self-image, and why who you are cannot be reduced to what you do. He explains how the same patterns show up in the boardroom and at home, why leaders need honest community around them, and how the persona we wear in public can mask the real struggle underneath.This episode matters because the pressure to perform can make unhealthy motives look productive until the damage shows up in your decisions, your relationships, and your peace. Dave’s perspective is a timely reminder that clarity, humility, and spiritual discernment are not optional if you want to lead well for the long haul.
