Drawing wisdom from mentors Mac Newton and Jocko Willink, he explores the critical connection between attitude and responsibility, and how leaders can course-correct when they fall short. Tune in to learn how to lead with intention, create better expectations, and take extreme ownership—starting with yourself.
