Ever felt like leadership wasn’t in your DNA? That you weren’t “naturally” cut out for it?
This week's guest, Thomas Cox, reverse-engineered what great leadership actually looks like. He spent 20+ years decoding leadership like a scientist. What he found? Not more fluff, but a universal truth that actually holds up.
This episode is a MASTERCLASS in real leadership — the kind you can learn, practice, and embody. Whether you’re running a business, managing a team, or coaching clients… this is the framework you didn’t know you needed.
Leadership that starts with YOU.
High performance without burnout.
Systems that make teams run (without you in the weeds).

What happens when a worship pastor walks away from 38 years of ministry… to become a coach?
In this raw and powerful episode, I sit down with Bernie McGraw, who lost 75+ pounds, rediscovered his identity, and found the courage to start over — at 59 years old.
We talk about:
Why transformation starts in the body… but never ends there
How food became the “acceptable sin” in the church
Why most pastors have no one to talk to — and what that’s costing them
The hard truth about leading others when you're not leading yourself
And how Bernie is creating a safe place for leaders to finally get free
This one’s for anyone feeling called to more — but scared to take the leap.

This is for the coach who's thinking about doing their own thing — but hasn't taken the leap yet.
Johnny Els was a personal trainer working in gyms — until COVID hit and he had no choice but to go all-in online.Fast forward: he's built TruFit Academy, helped 100+ clients drop 2,500+ pounds combined, and now coaches high performers full-time.
We talk: → Starting your own coaching business from scratch→ Why motivation doesn’t matter (and what does)→ How to actually help people change — and keep the weight off→ Why your “why” has to be deeper than just wanting abs
This is one of those real convos about the business of fitness — and the mindset it takes to show up and win.

Most people think “branding” is just a cute logo and some Canva graphics.
It’s not.It’s your identity.It’s who you are and what you stand for.And if that’s unclear? You’re building a brand that no longer fits.
I sat down with Charissa Higgins and McKenna Dodge from Unbound Branding — two women who are on a mission to blow up the BS around personal branding.
They don’t sell “pretty.”They reflect truth.They hold a mirror up to you — and show you what’s really there.
And what happens when you finally see your own magic?
Content becomes easyOffers become clearConfidence becomes realYour brand becomes HOME again
This episode is for the coaches, creators, consultants who’ve outgrown their own brands — and are ready to burn the old identity to the ground and build something real.
