Billy and Hali kick off the new year with Nathan Mellor, CEO of Strata Leadership, in an episode packed with nuggets on character-driven leadership and the power of aligning character with competency. Nathan discusses how servant leadership makes an impact, why the greatest challenge for young leaders is often a mindset shift rather than a skillset shift, and the critical role of self-awareness in growing into leadership opportunities.
Nathan explores the difference between a fixed and growth mindset, highlighting that it’s the “how” behind what you do that defines you. Throughout the episode, he offers practical advice like identifying whether a problem stems from character or competency and knowing you can’t solve one with tools meant for the other.
Learn how to train yourself and your team to focus on recognizing what someone is doing right instead of focusing on what they’re doing wrong. Discover what it means to make the "second mile" become second nature. He also reminds us that titles don’t define us; it’s how we approach our work that truly matters. Whether it’s learning to push through hard times, investing in personal growth, or distinguishing between chore and choice, this episode is a masterclass in intentional leadership.
Don’t miss this inspiring conversation filled with leadership nuggets to help you lead with purpose and impact in the year ahead!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
