In this episode, I'm sharing what it looks like to lead from a place of alignment - starting with how I tap into my “rich lady” energy to make calm, confident, long-term decisions. We'll talk about the misalignment that fuels chaos, the mindset shift that changes everything, and the powerful leadership skill that helps you stay grounded and in control - no matter what's happening outside your business.

In this episode, Scott Ramey, Founder of The Scott Ramey Group, shares how authentic leadership begins with mastering your own voice & presence.

Courage isn't born in comfort—it's born in friction. It shows up when we align vulnerability and integrity to do what's right, even when it's hard. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I share a deeply personal story about giving difficult feedback—feedback I didn't want to give. As someone who literally writes books on feedback, I still felt the fear: fear of being judged, misunderstood, or disliked. But I reminded myself of my leadership mantra: Courage isn't loud. Courage is quiet, vulnerable, and rooted in integrity. This episode is about redefining courage—not as bold, fearless heroism—but as showing up, telling the truth, and acting from your values. That's real leadership. Why Vulnerability Matters We've been taught that leaders need to be confident, polished, and perfect. But the truth is, people connect with real. Vulnerability builds trust. It creates psychological safety. It fuels innovation. Whether it was navigating COVID, being hacked, or rolling out strategic plans that didn't land perfectly, I've learned that being vulnerable doesn't weaken leadership. It strengthens it. Mic Drop Moment #1: “People don't follow perfection—they follow humanity.” Integrity: The Backbone of Trust Integrity isn't perfection; it's consistency. It's doing what's right, even when it's inconvenient. Your team is watching your behavior more than your words. When you lead with integrity, you build trust and credibility that compounds over time. The Courage Equation Courage = Vulnerability + Integrity When you live by this formula, you don't need to control outcomes—you just need to show up with heart. Leaders like Howard Schultz exemplify this: aligning their values with action, even in the face of risk. Build Your Courage Habit • Share one small truth daily. • Pause and ask, “What would courage look like right now?” • Reflect: Where did I lead with courage? Where did I hide? Key Takeaways 1. Courage isn't grand—it's grounded. It happens in small, everyday moments when you choose to act from your values. 2. Vulnerability is your leadership superpower. It builds connection, trust, and a culture where people feel safe to be real. 3. Integrity creates credibility. Consistency between your values, words, and actions is how trust is earned over time. 4. Without integrity, vulnerability feels manipulative. But together, they create courageous leadership. 5. Micro-bravery builds the habit. Courage is a muscle—you strengthen it through small, intentional actions every day. Mic Drop Moment #2: “If you want to build a respected culture, say the hard thing—especially when it's the right thing.” If this episode resonated, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a fellow leader.

Has Starmer got balls? Has any politician?  #KeirStarmer #KemiBadenoch #UKPolitics #PoliticalCourage #WestminsterWatch #LeadershipCrisis  Kemi Badenoch straight-up told Keir Starmer he's got no balls — in Parliament. Savage. But is she wrong? Honestly, do any politicians have the guts to actually do what people want anymore? Or is it all just safe speeches, focus groups, and vibes?  In this video, Jon Gaunt is digging into:

Tired of what's happening in politics? Me too. I'm reposting an episode to remind us, we need to dream bigger — like Nazareth-big. I'm making the case for why my write-in vote this election would go to Mary, the mother of Jesus.Forget the mudslinging, the super PACs, and the endless superlatives — what we need in the Oval Office is the guts, grit, and grace of a woman who survived patriarchal oppression, political refugeeship, and raising the Savior of the world. (And did it all without a social media manager.)We'll explore how Mary's life experience — her leadership, her suffering, her faith — makes her more qualified than most modern candidates. Plus, I'll midrash a little, take a few playful swings at politics-as-usual, and offer a fresh vision for leadership rooted in compassion, courage, and relentless hope.Because honestly? We don't just need a President.We need a Mother.And Mary gets my vote.

Brady talks about: Why every leader needs a little bit of delusion—and how to keep it calculated  The emotional highs and lows of leading something from scratch  How to earn trust and influence in a church culture that resists change  Creative ministry lessons from his first refund, first video, and first big win  What young leaders can do now to start building trust and traction  How he balances being a husband, dad, and CEO with a mind that never stops  The importance of relational equity, clear mission, and paying people well Brady's insights are both practical and deeply personal—offering a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to start, sustain, and scale a vision-driven business or ministry.

In this robust and unfiltered conversation, veteran media personality Bhusan Dahal dives deep into the current Nepali political crisis, media censorship, and the state of leadership in Nepal. From the rise and fall of communism to the controversial Social Media Bill in Nepal, Bhusan Dahal shares his candid views on how the country has drifted away from accountability and progress. We explore the troubling misuse of media, the erosion of media ethics in Nepal, and how freedom of speech is increasingly under threat. Dahal opens up about the Tinkune riot, deepfake videos from recent monarchy protests, and whether Nepal's parliament is equipped to serve the people. He also critiques the lack of role models in Nepal and questions why our brightest minds are often overlooked. Could a directly elected PM be the change Nepal needs? What would a more competent and people-focused political system look like? Is cannabis legalization a potential path to revenue and reform? These are just a few of the bold ideas explored in this eye-opening discussion. If you're frustrated with where the nation is heading or curious about what real leadership should look like, this is a must-watch.
