Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we talk openly about what it really means to “be a badass” in business and leadership. For us, it isn’t just about toughness—it’s about how our personal struggles, life experiences, and even past trauma shaped the way we problem-solve, lead, and connect with others. We share how learning to read people, stay calm under pressure, and follow through on our word became skills we didn’t just pick up in school, but through lived experience.We also explore how being strong doesn’t have to mean being harsh. We’ve learned that emotional intelligence, honesty, and even vulnerability are powerful tools in leadership. By sharing our stories, we hope others see that growth comes from reflection, integrity, and a willingness to do the personal work. Whether in the trades or in any business, we all have superpowers—we just need to uncover them and use them well.Note: For the best audio experience, we recommend listening to this episode with earphones.
