What if being a better human is the most underrated performance tool of all?

In this episode, leadership expert and author Dr. Peter Rea joins Luke Darcy to explore why character - not talent - is the real game-changer in leadership, teamwork, and parenting. Drawing from years of teaching and research, Peter breaks down how timeless virtues like courage, humility, and forgiveness can transform the way we lead, live, and raise the next generation.

Peter shares the three incredibly potent questions every parent should ask their kids after school and he beautifully distills decades of research into simple mindset shifts with profound ripple effects like boosting performance, lowering anxiety, and building resilience. 

Packed with timeless wisdom and practical takeaways, and insight after insight - you'll find yourself coming back to this episode again and again for fresh perspective and motivation.

We know you are going to love this conversation about leading with heart, building strong relationships, and embracing the messy, human side of growth.
