What if the hardest part of leadership isn’t the strategies or decisions, but closing the gap between who you are and how you lead in all aspects of your life?
We’re supposed to be “on” all the time, projecting confidence, consistency, composure. But real life is complicated, and often, we end up leaving some of our best, most honest parts at the door.
Justin Moffett is the CEO of Old Town Companies. He’s also a leader who tells the truth about what real transformation looks like. We dig into the everyday work of transformation: learning to face your habits, moving through tough conversations, and finding the sweet spot between perseverance and knowing when to let go.
You’ll hear specific stories and real world insights on the difference between being relentlessly persistent and being wisely discerning as a leader. We talk about what it looks like to own your flaws, create genuine psychological safety on your team, and build a legacy where others grow and lead, too.
