Summary

The Future of Leadership: Are You Ready for What’s Coming? Most people think leadership is about telling others what to do—but what if that’s completely wrong? In this episode, I sit down with my great friend Brendon Burchard to challenge everything you thought you knew about leadership. The world is changing faster than ever, and the old way of leading just won’t cut it anymore. If you’re still leading the way you did five years ago, you’re already falling behind. Brendon and I break down what it really takes to lead in today’s world, from how to get people to buy into your vision to why energy is your most valuable leadership asset. We’re talking about what separates great leaders from those who struggle to keep their teams engaged—and trust me, it’s not what you think. Brendon shares his game-changing insight: “People support what they create.” If your people don’t feel like they have a stake in the vision, they’ll never be all in. We also get into the biggest leadership mistake holding most people back—clinging to old ideas instead of adapting. Even legendary leadership expert John Maxwell told me that he used to believe consistency was the key… until he realized that in today’s world, great leaders must be willing to change their minds when new information comes in. The companies and leaders who refuse to evolve? They won’t survive the next five years. This conversation is packed with real, actionable leadership strategies you can start using today—whether you’re leading a team of two or two thousand. And if you’re not thinking about energy, emotional connection, and adaptability as core leadership skills, this episode will shift your mindset forever. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ The #1 mistake leaders make that kills engagement ✅ How to create buy-in so your team is all in on the vision ✅ Why AI is forcing leaders to change how they lead—NOW ✅ The real reason people quit (it’s not what you think!) ✅ How energy and emotional connection separate great leaders from average ones This is the leadership conversation you didn’t know you needed to hear.
