In this episode of Reflect Forward, I dive into one of the most important truths of leadership: your team doesn't need a perfect leader, they need a real, authentic one—especially now, in the age of AI and automation. As technology becomes more integrated into our daily work, it's easy for leaders to slip into the background—managing from behind a screen, buried in email threads and Zoom meetings. But leadership is, and always will be, a human endeavor. If you're not out with your team, building trust through authentic connection, you're missing the most valuable part of leadership. I share why leaders who isolate themselves behind closed doors or computer screens are failing their teams, and how something as simple as walking around and asking thoughtful questions can transform team dynamics. Management by Walking Around (MBWA) isn't a new concept, but it's more relevant than ever. When you're visible, approachable, and genuinely curious, you foster real engagement and trust. We also explore the power of authenticity—how showing up as your full, imperfect self builds stronger relationships and deeper trust. In a world where AI can mimic human interaction, your ability to empathize, connect, and be vulnerable is what sets you apart. Your team wants to trust you, and they want to feel trusted. That's the foundation of high-performing, psychologically safe teams. Plus, I leave you with one powerful, simple exercise you can try today to begin building more trust and connection with your team. It takes just a few minutes, but the impact can last a lifetime. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why being present and engaged with your team matters more than ever How hiding behind screens is damaging trust and connection The value of authenticity in leadership and how to show up as your true self Why AI will never replace the emotional intelligence and human intuition you bring A simple, powerful trust-building exercise you can implement today Now more than ever, your team needs you. Not your title. Not your polished image. Just you—real, present, and engaged. Tune in to be reminded why human-centered leadership is not just timeless—it's the future.

Struggling business? Missed deadlines? Sloppy work? A disengaged team? Who’s to blame? Most point fingers at their crew. “They don’t care. They don’t listen. I just can’t find good people.” Sound familiar? But what if the real issue isn’t them... it’s you? The shift from being on the tools to leading the business is one of the most pivotal moments in any tradesperson’s journey. Many skilled tradespeople build successful businesses based on their technical expertise, but to scale and achieve sustainable growth, they must evolve into effective leaders. Stepping away from the tools doesn’t mean losing control — it means leading with purpose. It requires trust in your team, clear communication, and a commitment to personal growth. The best trades businesses aren’t built on one person’s hard work alone—they thrive when a strong leader builds, supports, and drives the team forward. In this episode you’ll learn:

"Man can do what he wills, but he cannot will what he wills." - Arthur SchopenhauerThirty Days of Thought with Friends worked so well the first time, we figured we'd bring it back.  Today, we have brought in musician, mortgage professional, host of the "Laugh, Lend, and Eat" podcast, and co- author of Leadership Matters, Fobby Naghmi, and Nathan Merril, our favorite philosopher and artisan contractor with Vision Stone and Tile, to discuss everyone's favorite philosophical kerfuffle: free will.  This trio of culture captains are digging into the difference between observation and perception, how our hidden motivations are what shape the world we live in, and whether free will shapes us or we shape our will.  As always, we're going super deep with Fobby and Nathan and we hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

This week on the Power House podcast, HousingWire president Diego Sanchez sits down with the co-authors of the recently published real estate and mortgage guidebook, “Leadership Matters.” Fobby is also the SVP of Homecomings Mortgage & Equity, and Ginger is the founder of Edumarketing. In today's episode, they talk about why top performers don't always make the best leaders, — especially in tough times — and discuss the critical role of training and communication in scaling leadership success across organizations. Here's what you'll learn: Leadership is fundamental in all aspects of life, not just professional ones. Leaders are forged in challenging times, not in easy ones.

The blog post Today, I want to share a section from my book, The Mistakes That Make Us. I'm sharing an excerpt here in this post, and I'm also making it available as a podcast episode using an excerpt from the audiobook version. In this book, I explore how mistakes can actually be one of the best ways we learn and grow—whether it's in business or life in general. The excerpt I'm about to share is from Chapter Three, where I talk about the importance of kindness. Often, we think that being "nice" is enough, but real kindness goes deeper. It's not just about being pleasant or avoiding conflict; it's about helping others—and ourselves—grow and improve through constructive action. In this chapter, I also touch on self-kindness, especially after making mistakes. We tend to be our own harshest critics, but kindness towards ourselves is crucial if we want to learn and move forward. If you find this excerpt helpful, I encourage you to check out the rest of the book, The Mistakes That Make Us (including this free sample offer). It's packed with stories and lessons on how embracing mistakes can lead to greater success. So, let's get into the reading. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lean-blog-audio/support
