How we lead is who we are.In this episode of the Value Creators Podcast, Hunter Hastings speaks with Becky Schmooke—entrepreneur, leadership coach, and author of Choose the Handle That Holds. Becky shares how the system of philosophy we label as Stoic generates practical tools for leadership, self-awareness, and resilience. Rather than hierarchical leadership vested with titles and administrative control, Becky proposes a more human vision of leadership: grounded in personal values, emotional clarity, and active participation.Key themes include:Why authority and leadership are not the same—and how leadership is a lifestyle, not a position.How Stoicism reframes control, responsibility, and purpose in business and life.What it means to “choose the handle that holds”—and how to build emotional intelligence through action, not theory.This conversation is a guide for anyone who wants to lead with clarity, build resilient organizations, and live aligned with their deepest values.Resources:➡️ Learn What They Didn’t Teach You In Business School: The Value Creators Online Business CourseBuy Becky’s book: Choose The Handle That HoldsVisit Becky's Webiste: beckyschmooke.com Connect with Becky Schmooke on LinkedInConnect with Hunter Hastings on LinkedInSubscribe to The Value Creators on Substack
