Send us Fan MailOne careless sentence can live in your kid's head for a week, even when you “didn't mean it like that.” That's where this conversation takes off, because former NFL tight end and Super Bowl champion Ben Utecht has learned that leadership at home isn't about volume or authority, it's about clarity, humility, and presence.Ben shares what it's like being a proud girl dad to four daughters and how he tries to lead with four simple principles: listening, learning, language, and love. We talk about why “values” don't stick unless you practice them, how beliefs drive behavior in families the same way they drive culture in teams and companies, and why vulnerability isn't oversharing but a skill you can develop. Ben pulls lessons from the Peyton Manning huddle where every word had a purpose, then translates that into everyday parenting and marriage so dads can communicate without leaving landmines behind.We also go deeper on identity and performance, from Tony Dungy's servant leadership to the pressure kids feel in sports, school, and dating. Ben explains how he sets a higher standard by how he treats his wife, how he apologizes, and how he coaches his daughters to see athletics as part of who they are, not the core. If you care about fatherhood, emotional intelligence, family values, and building a championship culture at home, you'll leave with practical tools you can use tonight at the dinner table.If this conversation helps you, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a dad who wants to lead his home with more intention.Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!  Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

Nils Leonard is the creative founder of Uncommon Creative Studio, with offices in Stockholm, London and New York. Its work covers design, advertising, film, narrative objects and art, including a show at the Venice Biennale. ~ In this conversation, Nils explains why he doesn't want to win the opening weekend. He wants to make reference points: work people still talk about years later. He talks about the long break after Grey that stopped Uncommon from becoming "Grey Part Two", and why the first question he asks every new client is "why are you here?" He also explains how three years of a website with nothing on it but a bouncing flag flushed out the time-wasters.Nils looks back on LifePaint and what he'd do differently, tells the Yves Klein story that inspired the bacteria reveal at OFFF Festival, and explains why he markets to talent before clients. He ends with the kind of work he wants to make next: places and monuments built to outlast everyone involved.Key takeawaysTreat every brief as a chance to matter. Whether work adds to your life's tapestry or just fills someone else's list depends on how you choose to see your job.Define success before you start. Most of the industry's frustrations come from never asking the client what success really looks like.Make it inevitable, not brave. The goal is an idea so right for the problem that nobody even sees it as a risk.Build first, then invite. Taking an idea to a brand as an invitation, instead of asking permission, changes the power dynamic.Scarcity is value. When everyone takes in the same inputs and offers the same things, being unlike anyone else becomes the offer.Narrative objects travel further than adverts. A product, object or place that tells a story lets people retell it in their own way.Market to talent first. If the best people want to work with you, the clients follow.Want people, don't need them. The power lies in making things happen without depending on anyone.Articulation matters as much as art direction. Creatives need to be heard outside their work, whether that's writing, speaking, publishing or making.Make it for yourself. The most personal work is often the most universal. Daring Forever.

The apostles of Christ were common men. That's God's modus operandi (way of doing things). “God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful” (1 Corinthians 1:27, NLT). Here, as Jesus sends them out, we can see five stages for any of us who live to do God's work.I. Mission (v. 7)II. Provision (vv. 9-10)III. Proclamation (vv. 10, 12)IV. Opposition (v. 11)V. Completion (vv. 12-13)Learn Your Bible: Search for instances of God using unexpected, common people to accomplish His will throughout the Bible.Love Your Neighbor: Look for a small way to serve someone practically this week.Live in Freedom: Meditate on 1 Corinthians 1:27 and surrender your need to prove yourself useful to the kingdom of God.

What if being right isn't enough?In Week 3 of UNCOMMON, Pastor Kim walks through the story of Abigail, David, and Nabal in 1 Samuel 25 and explores what it looks like to speak truth without using truth as a weapon.When David is insulted by Nabal, his anger nearly leads him to make a decision that could have followed him into his future. But Abigail steps into the conflict with courage, wisdom, and honor. She doesn't ignore what is wrong, but she also refuses to use truth to destroy someone.Her story reminds us that being right doesn't automatically mean we're responding rightly. Sometimes we need the courage to speak truth, and sometimes we need the humility to receive it.Jesus shows us that we don't have to choose between truth and love. We can speak honestly without cruelty, confront what is wrong without stripping someone of their dignity, and seek transformation instead of simply winning the confrontation.The question isn't simply whether we're telling the truth. It's whether the way we're telling it reflects the One who IS Truth.

Division can quietly destroy our relationships, our joy, and even the unity and mission of the church. In this message from the Uncommon series, we look at what causes division and what it means to respond in an uncommon, Christ-centered way.Drawing from Romans 12, we're challenged to move beyond selfishness, comparison, unmet expectations, assumptions, personal preferences, and conflict avoidance. Instead, followers of Jesus are called to bless those who hurt us, pursue peace, rejoice with others, mourn with those who mourn, and take responsibility for our part in reconciliation.True unity doesn't begin with people—it begins with Jesus. And we can live this way not through our own strength, but through the power of the Holy Spirit.

What does it mean to be an uncommon leader? John Gallagher has a definition that will stick with you, and it starts with a shopping cart in a parking lot.This week John joins Jon and Coach Jim for a conversation about faith, business, the moment a 2.3 performance review changed everything, and what it really takes to grow from someone who needed a mentor into someone others seek out as one.If you have ever wondered whether your faith and your professional life belong in the same room, this episode will have something to say to you.Connect with Jon: coachjohngallagher.com Listen to The Uncommon Leader podcast: coachjohngallagher.com/podcastSubscribe to the Champions Brew weekly newsletter: coachjohngallagher.com/blogConnect With John on Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/coachjohngallagher

What do you do when the people who hurt you are the people who were supposed to love you?In Week 2 of UNCOMMON, Tara Schwartz walks through the story of Joseph and the betrayal, injustice, and pain that shaped his journey. Joseph had every reason to become bitter, and eventually, he had the power to get even. Instead, he chose something uncommon: forgiveness.This message explores what forgiveness really looks like, why healing and reconciliation aren't always the same thing, and how God can redeem even the wounds we thought would destroy us.Because bitterness keeps us holding the pain, hoping somehow it will punish the person who hurt us. But in the end, it only imprisons us.Joseph's story reminds us that the pit may not be punishment. It may be preparation. And the pain we've carried may become the very wisdom God uses to bring healing to someone else.

How do you live faithfully in a world that is constantly trying to form you?Daniel never chose Babylon. Babylon happened to him. He was taken from everything familiar and forced to build a life inside a culture that didn't share his faith. Yet Daniel shows us another way to live. He didn't isolate himself from Babylon, and he didn't allow Babylon to determine who he became.In Week 1 of UNCOMMON, Pastor Chris explores what Daniel's story teaches us about identity, conviction, courage, and allegiance. Uncommon faith isn't always loud or confrontational. Sometimes it simply means knowing who you are, knowing whose you are, and remaining standing when everyone else bows.Jesus hasn't called us to run from the world, hate the world, or fear the world. He sends us into it.You can live in Babylon without letting Babylon live in you.

What defines your identity? In a world that often tells us to find our worth in success, relationships, accomplishments, or comparison, Romans 12 points us to a different way.In this message, we explore what it means to live with an uncommon identity—one that is rooted in Jesus Christ, shaped by humility, connected to the body of Christ, and expressed through serving others. Rather than competing or trying to prove our worth, we can confidently use what God has given us to build up His church and bless those around us.“You are Christ's.” When our identity is secure in Him, we are free to stop living for ourselves and start living for Jesus and others.

What does it really mean to surrender your life to Jesus?In this message from the Uncommon series, we look at Romans 12:1–2 and what it means to become a “living sacrifice.” True transformation begins when we stop avoiding the broken and difficult areas of our lives and surrender them fully to God.Through a powerful personal testimony, this message explores forgiveness, repentance, renewing our minds, overcoming shame and pride, and allowing Christ to transform us from the inside out. An uncommon relationship with Jesus requires uncommon surrender—and when we surrender to God's will, He begins to transform the way we think, live, and relate to others.“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2Discover what it looks like to surrender, be transformed, and live an uncommon life for Jesus.

On this Summer Friday, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: Katie Gaddini, sociologist, a visiting scholar at Stanford University, an associate professor of sociology at the Social Research Institute, University College London (UCL) and a research associate at the University of Johannesburg department of sociology, and the author of Esther's Army: The Christian Women Who Power the American Right (WW Norton, 2026), talks about her research into the activism of right-wing Christian women and their leadership of the political evangelical movement. Ian Shapiro, professor of political science and global affairs at Yale University, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of After the Fall: From the End of History to the Crisis of Democracy, How Politicians Broke Our World (Basic Books, 2026), traces the breakdown in democratic institutions to missteps by Western leaders following the fall of the Soviet Union. Isaac Butler, culture historian, critic, podcaster and the author of The Perfect Moment: God, Sex, Art, and the Birth of America's Culture Wars (Bloomsbury, 2026), revisits the late 1980s start of the culture wars as the religious right took on the contemporary art world.

How do you lead when trust in business, government, and media is at a generational low? On this episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc welcomes Keith Wyche, Fortune 500 board director, keynote speaker, and author of the new book Uncommon Leadership: A Blueprint for Restoring Integrity, Trust, and People-Centred Leadership.Keith's retail story begins in the back room of one of Ohio's largest Sears stores, working the paint department as a college intern. From there, he built a career inside organizations in the middle of massive change: AT&T as the Bell monopoly broke apart, IBM as it shifted from hardware to solutions, then grocery at Cub Foods, where he spent his first months cutting meat, icing cakes, running a register, and stocking freight to understand the work before changing it.He shares the hard feedback that explained why he kept hitting quota at IBM but never got promoted: without followership, there is no leadership. That lesson underpins his trust formula, character times competency times consistency, where a zero in any one factor cancels the other two. Keith and Michael dig into why leadership drifted from service to self-interest, pointing to quarterly earnings pressure, a celebrity culture that rewards charisma over character, and CEO pay that has climbed from roughly 25 times the average employee to 200.The conversation turns to Walmart, which Keith joined in 2015, a year after Doug McMillon began pushing the company out of its brick-and-mortar comfort zone. He describes the unvarnished truth session, the burning platform, the jet.com talent infusion, and the storytelling that made the stakes real, including his reminder that Sears once had both the stores and the catalogue and is gone today.For executives who want somewhere to start Monday morning, Keith offers a practical framework. Listen to associates, using the two questions he asks on every store walk. Listen to customers and vendors. Then clarify and simplify the mission the way Walmart turned everyday low cost into everyday low price. A Chicago self-checkout rollout that consulted neither associates nor shoppers serves as a cautionary tale.They close on board composition in the AI era, the CEO, CFO, and operations seats plus the cybersecurity and AI expertise that may sit with a director in their thirties, and why customer-facing automation like shelf-scanning robots and AI greeters got piloted and pulled. As Keith says, AI can tell you a tomato is a fruit; wisdom tells you not to put it in the fruit salad.His parting advice for the next generation of retail leaders is simple: human capital is the most important asset on the balance sheet.

How do executive leaders build self-running systems, foster true team autonomy, and step away from daily operational friction? In this episode of The Uncommon Leader Podcast, host John Gallagher sits down with Dr. Cindra Kamphoff—executive performance coach, high-performance strategist, and author of The Confidence Habit—to break down the intersection of executive mindset, operational excellence, and team empowerment.Dr. Kamphoff shares ground-breaking research from her nationwide confidence study, revealing why 33% of employees quit confidence-draining environments and how executive confidence directly impacts team retention, culture, and bottom-line revenue.

In which our investigators go on a cobbled-road-trip with our favourite pub landlady, discuss what in the name of seven Montagues is going on in this “Whitby” gaff, and encounter something perhaps more deadly & terrifying than anything they have yet faced…   A Call of Cthulhu scenario by Danann McAleer.

Keith Wattley, founder of UnCommon Law joined Street Soldiers Radio to shared how they have supported incarcerated people to heal and return home through parole. For 20 years, UnCommon Law has championed the radical notion that people serving life sentences in prison for serious or violent crimes have the capacity for transformation and deserve viable pathways home from prison. With leadership from those most impacted by the criminal legal system, they are reimagining responses to violence and harm, and fighting to dismantle life sentencing and discretionary parole. Their groundbreaking approach is changing policy and parole outcomes, driven by the voices and experiences of system-impacted communities.

In which two men in a smoking-room are talking of their their private school days… (This episode is meant as a classic ghost story in many ways, but one which adds directly to the narrative of An Uncommon Burial - and which also acts as a form of "recap" for the previous connected scenarios 'A Christmas Inheritance', & 'A Residence at The Bay' [along with the already published first section of this scenario], so...

You can train for a Spartan race, ship a book, and build a career that looks successful, yet still get stuck behind the same invisible wall: fear. We flip the script and put John Gallagher in the guest seat to talk about the real drivers behind uncommon leadership, from the high school moment where popularity influenced a big decision to the later seasons where he learned to stop waiting until he felt “worthy” to make the ask. We dig into the heart of his new book, The Eight Common Practices of Uncommon Leaders, and the idea that leadership growth is less about hype and more about practices you repeat. John shares why Philippians 4:8 is a mindset filter, but Philippians 4:9 is the challenge that matters most: put it into practice. That theme runs through everything, including the 86,400-second reminder that time never stops, so we have to decide what deserves our attention and learn to say no to good things to say yes to legacy-level work.  You'll also hear the four-part approach John uses to beat “the beast” of fear: prayer, accountability, reflection, and action. We talk handwritten “care cards” as a surprisingly powerful relationship-building tool, plus a framework for giving hard feedback with both truth and grace. We wrap with the day 91 mindset and a legacy question you won't forget: who will write your name on their list of people who made a difference?  Subscribe, share this with a leader who needs momentum, and leave a review so more people can find the show.===================================================Get The Book & Connect with John:

Josiah Osgood — Multi-Part, Part One: Professor Josiah Osgood, author of Uncommon Wrath: How Caesar and Cato's Deadly Rivalry Destroyed the Roman Republic, begins in 64 BCE, when Cato and Caesar briefly cooperated in the murder courts to penalize those rewarded during Sulla's brutal purges. Their rivalry ignited permanently during the Catiline conspiracy in 63 BCE. While Caesar proposed life imprisonment for the conspirators, Cato's debut Senate speech demanded their execution and successfully implicated Caesar in the plot. This established their core conflict: Cato's Stoic rectitude and fear of strongmen against Caesar's pursuit of dignitas and popular reform. The period also saw the rise of the triumvirate, an alliance between Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus, which Cato tirelessly opposed as a threat to republican freedom. (1)
