Can your business survive without you?If life knocked you out of your business tomorrow, would your systems, team, and revenue keep moving or would everything stop with you?Episode 200 (!!!) isn't about celebrating a number.

In this episode, I explore a fascinating idea about near and far enemies and how it links to leadership and the tendency for even the best leadership tips, tools and advice to accidentally get used in the wrong way. This episode dives deep into the deeper parts of ditching the drama that leaders may feel they are coaching well on moving people past the key sources of drama - lack of accountability, ego-based behaviors such as venting, resisting change and lack of alignment to decisions - but missing massive opportunities because they are labeling too soon behaviors from their team as simply "sources of drama". Understanding the near enemy or the patterns that look like drama, but may actually be real nuanced concerns coming from your team will allow you to take your leadership to the next level and continue to modernize how you lead.

What are the bad leadership habits that quietly hold a team back? In this solo episode of The Courageous Leaders Podcast, I share the five leadership behaviours driving me crazy right now, and what to do instead if you want to lead well over the next few years.Consider it a rant with a purpose.

For generations, "A Message to Garcia" has been used to celebrate initiative and getting the job done. But Captain Jonathan Corbin, U.S. Marine Corps, argues that “figure it out” leadership can go too far. This episode explores why true decentralized command requires clear intent, useful context, and a culture where smart questions are encouraged—not punished.
Daniella Young has built a brand by saying the thing most people avoid: bad leaders, bad groups, cult dynamics, and toxic loyalty are not fringe problems. They show up in politics, companies, the military, families, social media, and anywhere people stop questioning the room they are in. Jason and Daniella talk about turning trauma into work, why "followers" should not become worshippers, how she built a creator-led book business, why she focuses on bad leadership instead of good leadership, and what most people misunderstand about cults, scams, fame, politics, parenting, and platform building. We also discuss: • Talking to Khloe Kardashian and handling criticism for using big platforms • Why confidence can make people more vulnerable to scams and cults • The economics of traditional publishing vs self-publishing • Building a personal brand around your actual story • Why "front of the room advantage" changes how people see you • Veterans, identity, and the danger zone after leaving the military • Social media trolls, monetization, and standing out on purpose • Parenting after trauma • Politics, corruption, term limits, and leadership failure • Why there are no rules for creators right now Daniella's links Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daniellamyoung_/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@knittingcultladycaptain YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KnittingCultLady Website: https://knittingcultlady.com/ Jason links https://linktr.ee/cavnesshr
What does God say about leadership, power, and influence? In this message from the Prophetic Anthology series, Pastor Greg Ford unpacks what the Minor Prophets reveal about bad leadership, servant leadership, and what it means to lead the way God intended.Throughout Scripture, we see a warning for leaders who use power to feed on people instead of serving them. The prophets challenged leaders who allowed greed, fear, and selfish ambition to shape the way they led. But the Bible also gives us the ultimate example of leadership through Jesus, who came not to be served, but to serve.In this message, discover how:• Leadership is a temporary stewardship from God• Every leader is accountable for how they use their influence• Good seasons and difficult seasons reveal our character• True leadership is not about power over people, but serving people• We are called to lead like Jesus with humility, sacrifice, and loveWhether you are leading in your home, workplace, church, community, or simply influencing the people around you, this message will challenge you to examine your heart and reflect the leadership of Jesus.Watch this powerful message on Christian leadership, biblical wisdom, spiritual growth, and following Jesus.If you've just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: https://www.one.church/jesusTo Support this Ministry: https://www.one.church/giveWebsite: https://www.one.church/One Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/onedotchurchOne Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onedotchurchGreg Ford Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregoryafordOne Church is on a mission to ignite a movement that reaches adisconnected culture.#onechurch #gregford #purpose
AI doesn't make you a better leader. It makes you a louder version of the leader you already are. In this episode, Chris and Mark walk through the framework at the heart of the new book The 3% Shift — the three human capacities AI can imitate but never replace: Imagination — AI optimizes what exists; it can't picture the unseen reality worth leading toward. Discernment — hard-fought wisdom that knows the territory, not just the map. Relationship — AI remembers every mistake. Only a human can forgive one. You'll hear why chasing AI as a shortcut quietly trains it to amplify your insecurities, and how to use it to sharpen your thinking instead of outsourcing it. If you lead a team and feel the pull to let the tool do your thinking, this one's for you.

Are you trying to lead your business at full capacity… on a 40% day?Let's be honest, some days hit harder than others. And pretending you can “push through” like a machine? That's not leadership. That's self-abandonment with a calendar.In this raw, from-the-trenches episode, Dawn breaks down what leadership actually looks like when your capacity is low and why building a business that depends on your constant output is the real problem. You'll learn how to use AI as a cognitive co-pilot (not just a content tool) to help you think, decide, and lead… even on the days you'd rather stay in bed. If you've ever felt like the business can't run without you, this one's your wake-up call.If you're ready to stop carrying everything alone and start using AI in a way that actually supports your leadership, join the free AI for Founders community on LinkedIn. This is where we go beyond surface-level tips and show you how to actually integrate AI into your business and decision-making.Key TakeawaysYour real bottleneck isn't strategy, it's capacity. You don't have a time problem. You have a mental and emotional bandwidth problem and that changes how you need to lead.“Pushing through” is not a leadership strategy. It's a short-term survival tactic that keeps you stuck as the bottleneck in your own business.AI isn't just for productivity, it's for clarity. On low-capacity days, use AI to help you think, process decisions, and clear mental fog so you can lead with intention.The “CEO Minimum” is your new power move. Decide what only you can do today and let everything else be supported, delayed, or delegated.A scalable business should work at your 60%. If your company falls apart when you're not at 100%, that's not success, it's a structural issue.Resources & LinksJoin the AI for Founders CommunityDownload: 10 Ways AI Will Make You a Better LeaderExplore the AI Leadership AcceleratorRelated Episodes (Strategically Matched)165 | The System Your Business NEEDS to Stop the Bottleneck Before You Add Any Other System170 | Why Perfectionism in Leadership Isn't the Problem (And What Actually Is)161 | You Already Know Something Is Broken in Your Business—Here's How to Find It with AI Before It Costs You Another Quarter130 | How Female Founders Use AI to Stop Feeling Like FailuresSend us Fan MailWant to increase revenue and impact?

Two recent bills giving a commission the right to remove elected sheriffs from office are creating a backlash. Sheriff John Nowels and 3 other sheriffs are suing Governor Ferguson as a result, and he joins us to explain the unique role of elected sheriffs and outline the unconstitutional power grab the laws create, including the most important: the silencing of citizens' voices!
Send us Fan MailYour team notices more than you think. They catch the tone behind your “no,” the silence after a hard question, and the subtle ways favoritism can creep into decisions. We sit down as Gen and Kory nd get candid about good leadership vs bad leadership, not as a theory, but as something we've lived through from two different vantage points: leading in a formal role and working alongside leaders every day. We dig into servant leadership, trust, and psychological safety at work. We talk about leaders who get in the trenches, leaders who take accountability without pride, and why gaslighting and blame-shifting crush morale. We explore practical habits like saying “Let me get back to you tomorrow,” the real cost of overcommitting a team, emotional intelligence under stress, and how clarity and collaboration matter when nobody has all the answers.

Even the best leaders can fall—and when they do, real people get hurt. In this Christmas-week episode of Talk'N Truth, Dan Whitney (aka Larry the Cable Guy), Cara Whitney, and Pastor Bryan Clark unpack one of the most heartbreaking chapters in David's story: the fall of Absalom, David's son and the devastating fallout from David's failure. The conversation centers on how one “hour of passion” with Bathsheba rippled outward into generational pain—broken family relationships, shattered trust, and the deaths of thousands. As Absalom's rebellion collapses in 2 Samuel 18, the story exposes what happens when pride, passivity, and poor leadership go unchecked. Absalom is portrayed as a “pretty boy” leader—inept, ego-driven, and ultimately unable to fight God and win. But this episode doesn't just warn. It points forward. David cries out, wishing he could die in place of his son—but he can't. And that's where Christmas comes in. A thousand years later, the true King arrives: Jesus, the Leader who never fails, who actually does die in our place. This is the redemptive thread running through Scripture—and through our own stories. With humor, honesty, and personal reflection, this episode reminds you: your choices matter, leadership matters, and grace is always enough to write a new ending. Perfect for viewers interested in: Christmas faith conversations, 2 Samuel 18, King David, Absalom, consequences of sin, leadership and family impact, generational pain, redemption, grace, and Jesus as the true King. #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #TalkNTruth #LarryTheCableGuy #CaraWhitney #BryanClark #KingDavid #Absalom #2Samuel18 #Christmas #Grace #Redemption #ChristianLeadership #BackToTheBible

It's not. The definition of loyalty is an allegiance that's earned.”Join us for a fascinating and perhaps horrifying conversation on What Hangs In The Balance (conveniently, also the name of Philippe's book).—Philippe Johnson is a retired United States Air Force officer and advocate for principled and ethical leadership in public service. The son of a language teacher and career United States Army officer, he was raised in the United States, France, and Germany. During his 24 years on active duty, Lieutenant Colonel Johnson served as a fixed- and rotary-wing pilot, intelligence officer, and diplomat (military attaché), and was honored with the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters, and the Air Medal with one oak leaf cluster. He also served on the staffs of two Air Force major commands as his final two assignments. Philippe received a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Florida and earned his master's degree in public policy from the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy.

Tune in here to this Monday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the potential causes of the fires in California, and the importance of electing the right people. Brett shares the example of the Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, flying to another country while the city she was elected to protect and oversee was burning, then returned a week later with her hands up claiming it wasn't her fault. If the people of LA cannot rely on their mayor, who do they turn to? Nothing comes easy, everything requires hard work, but we have politicians across the nation who are only doing the fun parts, they never roll up their sleeves and do the important work. We must return to and uphold our standards that have carried us this far. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!
