    Interrupted, Not Erased: The Identity Work of Leadership with Troy James

    Some leaders rise because the world lifts them. Others rise because the world shifts beneath their feet — and they refuse to fall. This week on The Momentum Shift, C. Eric Collier sits down with a man forged in disruption, anchored in purpose, and built for the kind of leadership most people never prepare for: Troy James — Founder & CEO of Velora, creator of the Pathfinder Method, Harvard‑Certified Executive Leadership Coach, and architect of the ALL.IN. movement that touched 145,000 lives across 83 cities. But Troy’s story didn’t begin in boardrooms or global strategy sessions. It began in Sunset, Louisiana, in a home shaped by service, resilience, and the belief that purpose is something you live, not something you earn. As he tells Eric in the interview: “We all have a God‑given purpose… inner‑led and outer‑activated.” (AttachedDocument) For 21 years inside Starbucks, Troy rose through the ranks, shaped culture, and built community impact at a scale few leaders ever touch. But when the world shifted — pandemics, layoffs, racial tension, and institutional disruption — Troy discovered the question that would redefine his life: Who are you when the role isn’t holding the answer? In this powerful, soul‑level conversation, Eric and Troy dive into: 🎥 The Origin Story Growing up in a segregated town, watching his father become the first Black mayor, and learning early that service isn’t a job — it’s a calling. “I grew up at the feet of people who did a lot of intentional work.” ~Troy James, CEO Velora 🎥 The Starbucks Years From store manager to global strategist — and the moment he realized that systems don’t change people… people change systems. 🎥 The ALL.IN. Movement How a vision born in the chaos of 2020 became a national force for empowerment, dignity, and community healing. 🎥 The Identity Collision Why high performers lose themselves in roles, titles, and expectations — and how the Pathfinder Method helps leaders reclaim the ground that can’t be taken. 🎥 Faith at the Intersections The book that emerged when Troy finally stopped hustling for a check and started listening to the whisper inside. “It was all good just a week ago… then life hit. And God was teaching me something about myself.” 🎥 Becoming Unshakeable How to live from purpose instead of performance, build courage in the becoming, and walk into rooms ready to change them — not be changed by them. 🔥 WHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS Because the rules of leadership are changing. Because the ground is shifting. Because titles are temporary — but identity is eternal. And because, as Troy says: “You can be interrupted. You can’t be erased.”  This episode isn’t just motivation. It’s a recalibration. A blueprint. A reminder that the next version of you is already calling — and it’s time to answer. 🎧 The Momentum Shift Podcast & Radio Show Hosted by C.

  7. The Practice of Leadership: Emotional Intelligence, Self‑Awareness, and the Power to Shift

    May 2

    The Practice of Leadership: Emotional Intelligence, Self‑Awareness, and the Power to Shift

    In this dynamic and deeply insightful conversation, host C. Eric Collier, "The Mayor of Motivation," sits down with Dr. Larry Frazier—a PhD in Organizational Development, executive coach, leadership strategist, military veteran, and world traveler—to unpack the real work of leadership: the inner work. From the opening moments, Dr. Frazier brings humility, humor, and clarity as he shares how his journey through executive leadership revealed a powerful truth: leaders shape lives far beyond the workplace. Whether inspiring growth or causing stress that follows people home, leaders leave a mark—and Dr. Frazier’s mission is to help them make it a positive one. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode 1. Leadership Begins With You Dr. Frazier breaks down leadership as a practice, not a position. Using a memorable airplane analogy, he explains why so many people leave managers—not organizations—and how leaders can avoid becoming “untrained pilots” in the workplace. 2. The Momentum Shift Starts With Self‑Awareness Self-awareness is the “choice point,” the foundation of emotional intelligence, and the starting line for every transformation. Eric and Dr. Frazier explore how blind spots form, how to uncover them, and how self-awareness fuels vision, purpose, and personal momentum. 3. Self‑Management: How You Show Up Matters From calendars and boundaries to personal discipline and emotional regulation, self-management determines the energy and culture leaders create. Dr. Frazier shares how intentional self-management earned him the reputation of being “predictable in the best way.” 4. People Skills: The Missing Link for High Performers Referencing Marshall Goldsmith’s What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, Eric and Dr. Frazier discuss why technical skills get you promoted—but people skills get you respected. Dr. Frazier breaks down the emotional intelligence triad that unlocks effective relationship management. 5. Global Leadership Lessons With experience across Japan, Europe, and beyond, Dr. Frazier reveals how cultural norms shape leadership expectations—and how task-driven cultures can unintentionally neglect the human element. 6. Purpose, Legacy, and What’s Next Dr. Frazier shares his work with Georgetown University, his coaching initiatives, and his upcoming role mentoring future leaders at Morehouse College—an alignment he calls “perfect purpose.” 🎧 Why This Episode Matters If you lead a team, a family, a community—or simply want to lead yourself better—this episode gives you the blueprint. Eric and Dr. Frazier illuminate the truth that momentum doesn’t start with strategy; it starts with self-leadership. You’ll walk away challenged, inspired, and equipped to take the next step in your own shift. 📲 Connect with Dr. Larry Frazier Find him on Instagram and his favorite platform, LinkedIn, where you can also access his direct contact information. 🚀 Final Challenge from The Mayor of Motivation Eric closes the episode with a powerful call to action: Don’t just listen. Don’t just nod. Take the step. Start your shift today. Connect with C.

    Today Is the Door: Unlocking the Life You Once Believed Impossible

    The Momentum Shift Podcast & Radio Show, host C. Eric Collier — The Mayor of Motivation — takes listeners deep into one of the most life‑changing principles of personal growth: embracing the present moment. Drawing from powerful insights and lived experience, Eric reveals why so many people stay stuck in “mental quicksand” and how fear, doubt, and worry can hijack your focus.

Listeners will learn practical, actionable strategies for reclaiming their focus and stepping into their power, including: >Building a daily routine that grounds you >Using gratitude and visualization to rewire your mind >Writing goals with intention and deadlines >Developing resilience through imperfect action >Serving others as a pathway to discovering your purpose Eric reminds us that “the present moment is the spark that ignites the flame of possibility” — and that your future depends on what you choose to do with the moment you have right now. If you're ready to stop drifting, stop doubting, and stop delaying your greatness… this episode will show you exactly how to rise, rebuild, and shift momentum toward the life you once believed to be impossible.
