About this episode

Hello everyone! 

This week I'm joined by Carrie Jackson, the incredible principal of Allen High School in Texas — and someone I've had the privilege of working alongside in my career.

Carrie embodies what it means to lead with humility, compassion, and care. In our conversation, we dig deep into what real leadership looks like — not the kind that leans on authority or power, but the kind that sees people first.

We talk about the difference between power and influence, and how the best leaders earn trust and respect not through force, but through consistency, empathy, and a genuine commitment to the people they serve.

It's a reminder that leadership isn't about control — it's about connection.
