Today on the Servant Leadership Podcast, we welcome Alex Weber. You’ve probably seen him hosting American Ninja Warrior, but what makes Alex stand out isn’t the obstacles he’s overcome as both host and competitor… It’s the ones he’s faced in life. From battling self-doubt and loss to rebuilding after hitting rock bottom, Alex has become a voice for what it really means to lead with passion, empathy, and grit. Join us as he unpacks what it means to be unstoppable—not by never failing, but by setting goals and refusing to quit.
