That is not just history. That is leadership. As the country turns 250, BJ sits down with Army Colonel Steve Messenger to unpack what that actually demands of you. Steve teaches a class called Failing with the Stoics and has spent his career building leaders inside the military's deliberate, hierarchical, brutal development system.In this episode, Steve and BJ get into the BRAG framework for servant leadership, why solid citizens and learners need totally different things from you, the three ropes every leader has to bounce off of, the moment a major stepped into a combatives ring and got slammed in the face, and the identity lie most leaders quietly believe.

Decades ago, Zig Ziglar's "See You At The Top" taught me something I didn't know was possible: leaders who actually care about the people working for them. Not long after, I became a Sergeant in the Army and had to decide whether I'd lead the way I'd been led, or do something different.In this episode, I walk through that decision, why people stay with employers who treat them well even when the pay is better elsewhere, and how this same belief is shaping the way I'm building DaliTalks as I grow toward hiring my own team one day.Connect with me at DaliTalks.com or @DaliTalks on Instagram and LinkedIn.Learn more about Dali and DaliTalks at https://www.DaliTalks.com/LinkTree

Most founders are not lacking information. They're lacking activation. In this episode, you'll hear Part 1 of our Provider to CEO Panel from ALT,  featuring POP Leadership Academy members Jill Canes, Shannon Morrow, and Dr. Jill Goodman. Despite leading different businesses in different markets and stages of growth, they share a common thread: a commitment to investing in their leadership development and becoming the CEOs their businesses required them to be. We explore one of the biggest growth barriers business owners face: confusing knowledge with transformation. From conferences and podcasts to books, trainings, and endless saved content, many leaders spend years learning without ever fully implementing what they already know. We'll talk about the difference between consuming information and activating it. Because real business growth doesn't happen when you learn something new. it happens when you operationalize it, embody it, and consistently execute it. Together, we discuss what it really takes to transition from provider to CEO, the mindset shifts that accelerate growth, and how leadership activation creates lasting operational change. If you've been asking yourself, "What else do I need to learn?" This episode may challenge you to ask a more powerful question: "What do I need to fully activate?"

In this episode of Torsion Talk, Ryan shares a raw and honest conversation about leadership, entrepreneurship, burnout, purpose, and what happens when business owners become so focused on growth that they lose sight of themselves.Ryan opens up about a realization that many entrepreneurs eventually face: building a successful company is one skill, but running and operating it long-term may require a completely different type of leader. He discusses why he believes his greatest strength isn't operations or day-to-day management, but finding exceptional people, casting vision, building teams, and creating opportunities for others to succeed.The conversation explores what happens when business owners finally create systems and leadership teams that allow them to step back. Instead of celebrating the freedom they've worked so hard to create, many struggle with questions about identity, purpose, and what comes next. Ryan shares his personal journey of discovering who he is outside of work and why finding hobbies, passions, and personal fulfillment is critical for long-term success.The episode also dives into adversity in leadership, difficult conversations with employees, and why some of the strongest relationships in business are forged through conflict rather than avoiding it. Ryan explains why too many business owners are quick to give up on good people instead of investing the time necessary to work through challenges, improve communication, and strengthen trust.Throughout the discussion, he shares lessons learned from years of entrepreneurship, managing multiple businesses, building leadership teams, and navigating the emotional realities that come with responsibility. He talks about the importance of self-investment, personal growth, accountability, grace, and learning how to lead others without sacrificing your own well-being.Topics include leadership development, entrepreneurship, business ownership, company culture, employee retention, conflict resolution, burnout, work-life balance, personal growth, finding purpose outside of work, team building, leadership accountability, and creating healthy organizations that can thrive without constant owner involvement.If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, manager, or leader trying to build a successful company while maintaining strong relationships and a meaningful life, this episode offers practical insights and hard-earned lessons from the trenches.Subscribe to Torsion Talk on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts for more conversations about leadership, business growth, entrepreneurship, garage door industry trends, AI, marketing, and personal development.Find Ryan at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://garagedooru.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aaronoverheaddoors.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://markinuity.com/⁠Check out our sponsors!Sommer USA - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://sommer-usa.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Surewinder - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://surewinder.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stealth Hardware - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://quietmydoor.com/⁠

In this episode of Business on Top, I'm sharing Leadership Lesson #4: Your Partner Cannot Support a Vision They Don't Understand, a conversation about communication, advocacy, and what it really looks like to build alignment inside a relationship while pursuing ambitious goals. This episode is also Part 2 of the ALT husbands panel we shared last week, where we continue the conversation with an honest look into what support, trust, and partnership actually look like behind the scenes of building big businesses and ambitious lives together. I open up about the early days of building KLC, including the emotional weight of investing our personal savings into a brand-new business, navigating uncertainty inside my marriage, and the conversation that shifted my husband from skepticism to support. From leaving a lucrative corporate career to investing in mentorship before the results existed, this episode explores what it looks like to ask someone to believe in a vision they cannot fully see yet. This conversation feels especially important for women stepping into new levels of leadership, income, and influence inside their households,  often without a roadmap for how partnership evolves alongside ambition. In the second half of the episode, we continue the ALT husbands panel and go deeper into: What support actually looks like during seasons of growth How couples navigate financial and emotional uncertainty together Building trust while one person is actively scaling a vision Why communication creates alignment far more effectively than justification If you are building something meaningful, pursuing a bigger vision, or navigating growth inside your relationships, this episode is a reminder that people trust your vision more deeply when they can feel that you trust it first.

1 Samuel 30:21–25 (ESV) In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall shares an important leadership lesson from David after the victory at Ziklag. While some of David's men wanted to act selfishly and exclude those who had stayed behind, David responded with generosity, recognizing that the victory and abundance had come from God. Pastor Sumrall explains that selfishness can create division within teams, organizations, churches, and families if it is left unchecked. Wise leaders understand the importance of establishing principles and policies that encourage generosity, unity, and fairness among people working together. As you watch this episode, be encouraged to develop a generous spirit, guard against selfishness, and learn how godly leadership creates peace and unity by valuing every person's contribution. ---- Don't forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon

In this episode of Business on Top, I'm diving into something that impacts nearly every woman building at a high level, but rarely gets talked about openly: the evolution of partnership as your business grows. You'll hear a powerful panel conversation we hosted at ALT, where we intentionally brought husbands into the dialogue, not as outsiders to the business journey, but as a meaningful part of the ecosystem that supports it. This conversation is part one of a two-part discussion exploring what happens inside relationships as women step more fully into leadership, create wealth, expand their influence, and take on greater responsibility. Because as your business evolves, your relationship is often being asked to evolve too, and many of us are navigating territory that doesn't come with a clear roadmap. Together, we unpack the tension, opportunity, and complexity that can emerge when one person is growing rapidly while the relationship itself is trying to catch up to that growth. We talk about the communication gaps that happen when support is expected but never fully defined, and how misalignment often comes less from lack of love or desire, and more from lack of clarity and understanding. Because your business does not exist in a vacuum. And the quality of your partnership will either expand your capacity or quietly limit it. This episode is honest, nuanced, and deeply relevant for any woman trying to build not just a successful company, but a life that can truly sustain it.

Entrepreneur Scott Meier evaluated over 100 businesses before deciding to acquire three unique brands under one roof: Budsies, Petsies, and Stuffed Animal Pros. But instead of applying a ruthless corporate "roll-up" strategy, Scott chose to become a steward of an artisan-driven brand. In this episode, we dive into the world of Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) and the booming "kid-alt" nostalgia market. Scott breaks down the complex logistics of global plush manufacturing, how his company uses its profits to support kids in hospitals and disaster zones, and how he personally uses AI tools like Claude to automate annoying tasks so his team has more time to be human. Finally, Scott shares his ultimate leadership lesson: why the best thing you can do to build trust and solve complex problems is simply to "say less."

The Scaling MistakeHightouch CRO, Josh Kanagy, showed me how companies scaling fastest right now are creating their biggest future leadership problem.Companies are obsessed with scaling:• systems• process• AI• automationYes, those things matter.BUT there's a real danger when leaders start believing scaling the system automatically scales the company.Josh learned that the hard way in a humbling quarterly business review early in his career.Because systems don't build judgment, create confidence, or develop leaders ready for the next level.People do.The best scaling companies aren't just building better systems.They're building people who can rise with the company.THE BEST SCALE PEOPLE.In this conversation Josh also shares:• The humbling QBR that changed how he leads.• Why great sales leaders think like community builders.• The AI battle most executives don't realize they're fighting.And once you hear where Josh learned that philosophy… it changes how you think about leadership.Are we scaling our systems faster than we're scaling our people?-----Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben FanningSpeaking and Training inquiresSubscribe to my Youtube channelLinkedInInstagramTwitter

In this solo episode, I'm pulling a surprisingly powerful leadership lesson from Dr. Seuss' Oh, the Places You'll Go!—specifically the part most people skip right past: The Waiting Place. That grown-up trap where I'm not lazy… I'm just delaying. Waiting on clarity. Waiting on confidence. Waiting for life to slow down. Graduation season isn't just for 18-year-olds in caps and gowns. It's for me. It's for you. It's for anyone stepping into a new chapter that didn't come with a ceremony—just more pressure and responsibility. Here's what I'll walk you through: Why “adult graduations” happen all the time (and rarely come with applause) How I can look busy… and still be stuck The real cost of waiting (even when it sounds responsible) A simple 7-day exit plan you can run starting today This one is fresh, fun, and practical—with the kind of warm, direct “let's go” energy that will get you moving before the episode ends. Because you don't have to know the whole chapter. You just have to turn the page. Hit play and let's get after it.

In this episode, we sit down with Chris Hirst, a leader who's spent his career walking into broken businesses and fixing them. Chris breaks down what it really takes to lead through change, build high performing teams, and create cultures that actually work. We discuss why most hiring processes are broken, how to negotiate promotions and pay rises, and why networking isn't what most people think it is. He explains the six characteristics that define every great culture, why clarity and action are the only two things that really matter in leadership, and how to make decisions when you're never going to have all the information. Chris shares the exact framework he used to transform a 200 person business from worst to best in three years, why most leaders misunderstand the power balance in hiring, and how to build relationships that actually move your career forward.

Send a textSometimes the most powerful leadership lessons come from the simplest stories.In this episode of the Leadership Vision Podcast, Brian and Linda share a short Zen parable that surfaced during a coaching conversation with a client. The story, originally from Zen Shorts by Jon J. Muth, is about two traveling monks, a frustrated young woman, and a moment that reveals how easily we hold on to things longer than we should.As Nathan, Linda, and Brian unpack the story together, the conversation turns toward a deeper question for leaders and teams:What are we still carrying that we should have set down hours ago?The parable opens up a thoughtful discussion about perspective, emotional awareness, leadership mindset, and the subtle ways our interpretations of events shape the culture around us.Along the way, the team explores how each character in the story reflects different leadership tendencies—and how recognizing those patterns can help leaders grow in awareness and compassion.It's a short story, but one that invites a powerful moment of reflection.Reflection Questions for LeadersAs you listen, consider these questions:• What situation am I still carrying that I could let go of? • Which character in the story do I relate to most right now? • Am I amplifying a challenge that may actually be smaller than I think? • Who is walking alongside me on my leadership journey?Support the show-Read the full blog post here!CONTACT US email: connect@leadershipvisionconsulting.com LinkedIn Facebook Leadership Vision Online ABOUTThe Leadership Vision Podcast is a weekly show sharing our expertise in discovering, practicing, and implementing a Strengths-based approach to people, teams, and culture.

Send us a textGriffin Brand and Dan Casey, co-authors of Bring Your Own Pencil: Bill Walsh's Playbook for Winning at Anything, join Joe to explore preparation, leadership, and what separates sustained excellence from short-term success.It's Super Bowl weekend, so football is part of the lens—but it doesn't stay there. The discussion moves from Bill Walsh and the San Francisco 49ers to Dyson vacuums, Raising Cane's chicken fingers, JSOC, and even 50 Cent. Different worlds, same underlying question: why do some people and organizations endure while others flame out?At the center is a simple idea: success is a lagging indicator. Drawing on Walsh's leadership philosophy, Griffin and Dan explain why outcomes take care of themselves when leaders focus on standards, habits, and ownership of preparation—long before performance is visible.From there, the episode broadens into leadership more generally: perseverance, the myth of overnight success, and how constraints can sharpen thinking instead of limiting it. A key theme is the idea of a permanent base camp—maintaining standards that keep teams within striking distance of excellence without burning them out.They also spend time on legacy. Not wins or titles, but people. The episode reinforces a simple measure of leadership: how many people succeed because you took the time to invest in them.Watch the full interview on YouTube!Joe, Griffin, and Dan also discuss: What “bring your own pencil” really means for leaders Alive time vs. dead time  How the path to the top is rarely a straight line How to sustain excellence without burning people or culture Why inputs matter more than outcomes How culture becomes real when it carries itself forward What legacy looks like when leaders step back Why the best leaders make their ceiling someone else's floorWhether you're watching the Super Bowl or leading a team far from the spotlight, this episode is a reminder that the work that matters most usually happens long before anyone is watching.A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.

Pastor Mark Kelsey reminds us in this Leadership Lessons episode what reconciliation, unity, and authentic discipleship within the Church truly look like.

In todays Leadership Lesson, Mike Oaks teaches about the furnished room of the Shunammite woman becomes a picture of the heart. The bed calls us to rest and healing, the chair establishes God's authority, the table invites fellowship and formation, the lamp brings light and discernment, and the walls remind us this dwelling is permanent, not seasonal. As we intentionally furnish the heart, we become a place where God rests, leads, and works through us.

From creation to incarnation to resurrection, Scripture shows one pattern: God expands life through pressure. Pressure isn't punishment, it's the environment where roots deepen, clarity forms, and new creation emerges. In this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Kevin Myers teaches how the circular patterns of creation, the birth and life of Jesus, and the grain-of-wheat principle reveal the same truth: leaders grow through resistance. As we remain in God, pressure becomes formation, constriction becomes fruitfulness, and what feels tight becomes the very space where His kingdom breaks through.

God forms leaders who don't settle for being the exception, but rise into the standard He sets.
