Listen "If You Want to Be a Leader, You've Gotta Embrace the Suck"
Episode Synopsis
Most people want to lead. Few are willing to go through what leadership truly demands. This episode lays down the truth: growth doesn't happen in comfort. It happens when you lean into discomfort, own your shortcomings, and take the reps that reshape who you are. Real leadership isn't about feeling ready. It's about showing up even when you're not. Get ready to hear how elite leaders become who they are—through accountability, emotional grit, and relentless repetition. It's not motivation—it's transformation. From facing hard conversations to rewiring the habits that hold you back, this episode breaks down what it means to embrace the suck—and why that's the gateway to everything you're after. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Why comfort is your enemy 5:00 – Why most managers stay average 10:00 – How real leaders take hard feedback 15:00 – Changing habits: awkward, slow, and necessary 20:00 – Track reps, not perfection 25:00 – The real cost of playing it safe 👉 Links: 👉 Download the "Why Employees Don't Do What They Are Suppose to Do" Form For Free! 👉 Claim Your Spot for the 90-Day Manager to Leader Transformation Now! 👉 Visit Our Website RDL Training.com, check out our online courses and obtain the knowledge, skills, and tools you need to build your journey.
