Episode Synopsis

Every organization has a culture, whether it’s built by design or by default. But make no mistake: culture doesn’t start with a mission statement, it starts with leadership. The way leaders show up, speak, set boundaries, and make decisions creates the invisible atmosphere everyone else breathes.
In this episode, we unpack the truth that how you show up sets the tone, in your family, your classroom, or your team. Just as my son watches how I respond, your people are watching you. Leadership is about modeling growth, reflecting honestly, and mapping the way forward.
We’ll dive into:


The “Models, Mirrors, and Maps” every leader needs to grow and guide others


The Keep, Start, Stop framework for removing what no longer serves your leadership


Why boundaries are best enforced through behavior, not just words


The rocket ship principle: what must fall away for you to reach orbit


How understanding people’s history and toolbox builds trust and connection


The mindset shifts, systems, and disciplines leaders must embrace to solve problems they’re seasoned in


Culture isn’t accidental, it’s created in every choice leaders make. Tune in to discover how to refine your leadership, remove outdated norms, and design a culture that elevates everyone.
