The iceberg that doomed the Titanic weighed more than 1.5 million tons. Yet, only a small portion of this massive chunk of ice was visible above the surface. What lies beneath our own lives may be more substantial, more influential, and more impactful than what others can see above the surface. Real growth, self-awareness, and leadership are cultivated below the surface. Get ready to discover the eight elements lurking beneath your own “waterline,” and learn how to embrace the lessons of the iceberg in your own life.

Welcome to another episode of the Black Belt Leadership Podcast where Dr. John takes us a fascinating journey from the ancient art of winemaking and applies it to the modern challenges of personal growth and leadership. Just as you can’t put new wine in an old wineskin, you can’t add new thoughts and ideas to a mind that’s closed, or can you? This is one of the questions Dr. John will answer in this week’s insightful lesson.

Where you plant yourself matters. That’s the topic of this week’s Black Belt Leadership podcast as Dr. John takes us on a nostalgic journey to the fables and parables we heard aschildren, and the powerful life lessons they teach us. One lesson, the Parable of the Sower, teaches a powerful lesson: growth depends on your environment. Whether you’re sowing seeds of personal development or nurturing your own leadership journey, this episode challenges you to examine where you’re planting yourself, who you let into your inner circle, and what might be holding you back.
