In this week’s powerful episode of WINNERS FIND A WAY, host Trent M. Clark sits down with Dr. Malik Muhammad — leadership speaker, author, and founder of DrMalikSpeaks.com — for a deep, heartfelt conversation about what it truly means to be the leader we need in today’s divided world.
From the classroom to the boardroom, Malik brings decades of insight as a school founder, international speaker, and author of The Restorative Journey and We Can Save Our Boys of Color. His upcoming book, Being the Leader We Need, explores how leadership begins with humanity, connection, and belonging.
Together, Trent and Malik dig into:
- Why moral authority and followership are essential to real leadership.
- How “Connection + Challenge = Change” becomes a life formula for growth.
- The 4 R’s of Ubuntu — Rituals, Roles, Rhythms, and Repair — and how they build belonging.
- Why we should replace “problems” with “challenges” to inspire progress, not paralysis.
- What global travel teaches us about humility, leadership, and shared humanity.
- How hip hop, literature, and culture reflect both pain and purpose.
Malik’s stories — from transforming a failing school to redefining what leadership looks like in modern communities — will challenge how you think about power, purpose, and connection.
Trent also shares his reflections on drift — how easy it is to get one degree off course as leaders — and the importance of having truth-tellers around you who “chin-check” you back to center.
This one’s for every leader, parent, and builder of people who believes we can still create a world led by principle, purpose, and people who care enough to do the hard work of repair.
🔥 Don’t miss this one. Listen and share it with someone who’s ready to grow.

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?
