Over the last five years, I’ve learned five lessons that changed how I lead, train, and live.

In this episode, inspired by Pastor Craig Groeschel, I break down purpose, leadership “altitude,” selflessness, pride, and the cost of a rushed life through the lens of building BPN. We’ll hit the difference between complex vs. complicated problems, the dopamine drive, and how to build a culture that empowers people.

I also share personal reflections, what I’m working on next, and how these lessons translate into real decisions at work and at home.
