Podcasts about fearless leadership

What if Christian colleges—and churches—stopped being driven by fear? In this episode of the Future Christian Podcast, Loren sits down (literally, in person) with sociologist and Substack writer John Hawthorne to talk about his new book The Fearless Christian University. Drawing on nearly four decades in Christian higher education, John outlines why so many institutions have slipped into what Andy Crouch calls "zombie mode"—defined more by inertia than imagination. This conversation moves fluidly between Christian universities and local churches, asking critical questions about sustainability, fear-based culture wars, institutional loyalty, and what it looks like to center the real questions of a rising generation. Together, John and Loren explore: Why Christian institutions often default to fear and control What it means to be a “zombie institution”—and how to wake up How schools and churches can move from protecting tradition to cultivating belonging The importance of legitimizing doubt and centering student (or congregant) questions Whether it's possible to hold onto theological identity without gatekeeping How online church and online education can erode or support community Why belonging may need to come before belief John Hawthorne is a sociologist who spent nearly four decades in Christian higher education. He served as faculty member and academic administrator over the course of his career, spending time in five different Christian universities. He writes a Substack that often deals with issues in Christian higher education and has been regularly interviewed for Christianity Today, Religion News Service, Sojourners, Inside Higher Ed, and the Associated Press. His publications include A First Step into a Much Larger World: The Christian University and Beyond.   Mentioned Resources:

What does it take to lead a business through grief, growth, and massive transformation? In this powerful episode, Lisa G. sits down with Andi Shaughnessy and Danielle Carter, two fearless leaders who stepped into a family business amidst personal loss—and scaled it from 13 drivers to over 200.

What if the key to scaling a business isn't knowing the industry inside and out–but knowing how to fix what's broken? Brendan P. Keegan is a six-time CEO, two-time bestselling author, and founder of bFEARLESS Ventures. He's raised over $10 billion in capital, led six companies to exit, and grew Merchants Fleet from $500 million to $2.5 billion–without ever working in fleet management before. Now retired at 55, Brendan spends his time investing in bold ideas and living out his mission to build one million fearless leaders. The Power of Curiosity and Problem-Solving You don't need to be the expert in the room, but you do need to be the one who asks better questions. Brendan shares why curiosity, not credentials, became the throughline of his career. From turning around struggling startups to transforming a 55-year-old legacy business, he explains how to spot broken systems, challenge assumptions, and lead a team through massive growth–even when you're the new kid in the industry. Why Fear Holds You Back (And What to Do About It) Think fear isn't shaping your decisions? Think again. Brendan calls it the FUD factor–fear, uncertainty, and doubt–and says it quietly shapes how most people show up at work and in life. In this episode, he breaks down how to build fear-resilient leadership: how to stop waiting until you're “ready,” how to make decisions without all the answers, and why the best leaders move fast, stay coachable, and push others forward along the way. Enjoy this episode with Brendan P. Keegan… Soundbytes 18:56 - 19:48 “Our number one thing we hired was intellectual curiosity. Across the board. Period…As many skills as you think you have, you don't. Your first job, you don't know how to do 20% of it, 25% of it. But do you work hard? Are you a fast learner? Those are the things that are going to matter, you know. When you lose, are you coachable? In entry-level positions, I'm 100% attributes, nothing on skills or experience.” 11:48 - 12:35 “Can I just ask you a question? What did I do to get put in the penalty box? Why?” He goes, “What do you mean?” I said, “I got this other thing up and running. It was going great. I was killing it, and you moved me over here.” He goes, “Because it was broken.” And I said, “But why did you do that to me?” To which he replies, “You're great at fixing things.” I didn't see that when I looked in the mirror, but that mentor telling me, “You're great at fixing things. Brendan, you take your technology engineering mind and you think, what's the problem? So many people just jump in and start fixing things without thinking about the process. You're really good at fixing things. I challenge you to spend the rest of your career not in a given industry, but focused on fixing and transforming things.” 42:33 - 43:03 “Have the courage to fail and the faith to succeed. Have the courage to say, ‘I'm going to go try out for that team, and I might not make it, and that's okay.' But then–have the faith: ‘I am going to show up in the best shape of every single person trying out for that team. I might not have the best basketball skills, but I'm going to be the best-conditioned athlete. I'm going to be so conditioned that the coach takes me and thinks he can teach me basketball.'” Quotes “Have the courage to fail. Be willing to do things you don't think you can do, but also have the faith that you're going to succeed.” “Go take the mic. Go be the one in front.” “​​If you don't have a mentor, you're short-changing your career. You will not go as far in your career. Mentors help you. They enlighten you.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://brendanpkeegan.com/  Connect with Brendan Keegan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanpkeegan/ Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?

Are you playing not to lose or are you playing to actually win and create what you deeply long to in life and in your work? As our guest today, Adrian Koehler explains in this episode, we are all capable of being powerful, confident, secure, and fearless leaders. But in order to do so, we have to be willing to embrace the fear and risk that comes with the unknown. Adrian Koehler is a top leadership engagement expert and Founder and Senior Partner at the coaching firm Take New Ground. His approach is based on the idea that rather than aiming to reach a particular emotional state (“I want to be less scared,” for example), if we want to reach our fullest potential as leaders, we need to aim to be courageous instead (“I'm going to take the leap despite my fear”).  Drawing on his background in philanthropy, ministry, activism, and medicine, Adrian thrives in extreme environments and finds comfort in difficult conversations —in fact, his passion for human performance has taken him around the globe, serving people in times of crisis, transformation, and stalemates. Over the last decade, Adrian has trained and developed leaders at NIKE, Virgin Hyperloop One, Jeni's Ice Cream, Herschel Supply Co., Oprah Winfrey Network, Gavin DeBecker & Associates, Siegel & Gale, UCLA and elsewhere. Adrian is also the co-host of two engaging podcasts: Raising The Bar with Drybar Founder Alli Webb and The Naked Leadership Podcast with Take New Ground Sr. Partner Dan Tocchini.  Being human means having insecurities, but what we do with those insecurities and how mentally approach them is up to us. If you are ready to stop denying what is possible for you and start taking greater responsibility for your actions so your visions can become reality, tune in today for a conversation that will inspire you to be real, powerful (and if this word makes you feel uncomfortable, you need to hear Adrian's definition of it), and of course, brave!    Key Highlights From This Episode:   Introducing today's guest, leadership engagement expert, Adrian Koehler. [02:24] Four of our core human desires and what they signify. [04:41] The unpredictable nature of our emotions and why we shouldn't aim towards a particular emotional state.

Meet Kekoa Lwin! Kekoa is full of energy and knowledge, and we loved hearing his take on leadership, mentorship, growing a network, and teamwork.He's the leader of Team Kekoa and proud Co-Founder of KECO Capital, Integris Real Estate, Pacific Rim Property Management, and Elevation Construction.Kekoa runs a number of vertically integrated companies, starting each because of a specific need that arose during his real estate journey. Each company complements one another, creating his own "Power Team"Property ManagementHard Money LendingLicensed, bonded, insured General ContractingReal Estate AgencyKekoa started in college when he "majored in girls and minored in real estate" and started house hacking before he even knew what that was! Since then, Kekoa and his team have completed over 250 house flips (many "before HGTV made it cool") in Hawaii, Seattle, Las Vegas, and Dallas.In this episode, we talk about:-- Setting up a vertically integrated real estate company-- The importance of building a team of pros-- Why he started a hard money lending company-- How Kekoa manages all these different endeavors at the same time-- The "white belt" mentality of always learning, despite success and money-- Developing talent and the value of interning and shadowing-- How colleges should be teaching courses about financial life hacks-- Vetting business partners-- Networking at the gym with other 5am workout enthusiasts-- Real Estate Professional status and the tax benefits that come with itKekoa gives an amazing analogy between mindset and wearing a flower lei:"The neat thing about the flower leis is that when you have a flower lei on, everything smells amazing. And it smells amazing, because you've got the flower lei on.And to me the mindset is like the flower lei.It's like when you go into the day with a mindset that says, hey, I can do this, today's going to be better than yesterday. And the high of today is going to be the low of tomorrow. So you know, I'm just going to keep on pressing into the day.And you have a mindset like that, then man, you can do anything, no matter how hard life gets, because you've got that lei of a mindset of positivity that really changes things."Get in touch with Kekoa:Team Kekoa website - https://www.teamkekoa.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kekoalwinInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/kekoalwin/Join Jason Muth and Attorney / Broker Rory Gill of NextHome Titletown and UrbanVillage Legal in Boston, Massachusetts for another episode of The Real Estate Law Podcast!#realestatepodcast #nexthome #humansoverhouses #realestate #realestateinvesting #realestateinvestor #realestatelaw #mentorship #leadership #hardmoneylending #generatcontractor #propertymanagement #verticallyintegrated #teamkekoa #positivemindset ___________________The Real Estate Law Podcast is hosted by Jason Muth and Attorney / Broker Rory Gill.This podcast and these show notes are not legal advice, but we hope you find both entertaining and informative.You can follow our sponsors here:NextHome Titletown Real Estate on InstagramNextHome Titletown Real Estate on FacebookNextHome Titletown Real Estate on LinkedInAttorney Rory Gill on LinkedInThe Real Estate Law Podcast, because real estate is more than just pretty pictures and law goes well beySupport the show (https://www.urbanvillagelegal.com)
