What does it take to lead with credibility?

This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let’s Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam welcome Dr. Michael Koku, physician, speaker, trainer, and author of Leader, Lead Yourself. Together they unpack this week’s powerful quote: “You can’t lead what you don’t live.”

Dr. Michael shares his journey from medicine to leadership development, why personal leadership is the foundation of all leadership, and how credibility comes not from what you say, but from the life you live. With practical tools like his SOAR habit method, stories of consistency that changed his path, and the reminder that purpose and passion must work together, this conversation is packed with wisdom you can put into practice.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
