It’s a story about grit, growth, and why true leadership is less about titles and more about sticking it out when the road gets rough.

On 9/11, the world watched courage rise from the ashes. In the middle of smoke, fire, and fear, ordinary people stepped up and became heroes. That’s what real leadership looks like. True leaders don’t run from the chaos, they run straight into it and pull others with them. In this episode of Forged with Dan Greer, we dig into what unity under pressure really means, and why leadership is forged strongest in the fire.

In this episode of Forged with Dan Greer, I share why faith isn’t just a side note — it’s the fuel. Fire doesn’t destroy faith; it proves it. If you’ve been in the fire, this one’s for you.

Audits, trials, setbacks… they don’t break real leaders, they forge them. In this episode of Forged with Dan Greer, I unpack why pressure is the ultimate leadership test.

Too many people are sitting on the sidelines, waiting for someone to tap them on the shoulder and say, “You’re ready.” Newsflash: leadership doesn’t come with a permission slip.

In this episode of Forged with Dan Greer, I break down why you don’t need to wait for approval, a title, or someone else’s blessing. If you see the need, pick up the sword and get after it. Leaders aren’t appointed — they’re forged in action.
