Listen "Dallas Burnett Interview: Burn the Ships, Keep the Belief"
Episode Synopsis
Strength of Belief & Caveman Delegation with Dallas Burnett
In this episode of the Empowered Team Podcast, host Kari Schneider sits down with the multi-talented Dallas Burnett — bestselling author of Move, Lift, and Caveman Delegation, founder of Think Move & Thrive, and a speaker whose career has taken him from patenting water tech to speaking at the Pentagon.
Dallas opens up about what it takes to follow through on wildly different ideas, how to trust your gut when you're not sure of the path, and why grit without belief will never be enough. From seven years of failed patent attempts to building a publishing company and coaching performance teams, Dallas shares the real stories behind his wins — and the lessons you can apply to your own leadership journey.
We cover:
Why most people give up too early — and how to know when it’s worth pushing through
The dangerous myths of delegation (and the surprisingly simple fix)
Why burnout isn’t caused by stress — and what’s really missing
His 4-step “Caveman Delegation” method that makes letting go actually work
How AI is actually transforming leadership and performance
Plus: Enneagram insights, entrepreneurial grit, and the key to keeping your belief strong when everything flops
Key Takeaway:
If you don’t deeply believe in what you’re doing, don’t bother. But if you do? Prepare to go all in.
