Episode: 63 Power vs Control: Knowing the Difference

Power and control aren’t the same thing — but they get confused all the time. In this episode, Jeff and Travis unpack what it really means to walk in power versus needing to be in control.

 

From leadership and parenting to personal boundaries and traffic lights, the conversation turns real as the guys share stories of learning when to stand firm and when to let go. It’s about inner strength, quiet leadership, and realizing that force isn’t always a sign of power — sometimes, it’s a sign of fear.

 

This one’s for anyone who’s ever tried to grip too tight, or had to learn the hard way that control is an illusion.
