How do you prepare for leadership before the title, the promotion, or the corner office ever arrives? In this episode of the Hustle Nation Podcast, Chris and Dustin break down the practical, overlooked, and game-changing strategies that turn ambitious professionals into high-impact leaders long before they’re officially promoted.

You’ll learn why the most successful leaders start by mastering their current role, building trust, strengthening relationships, and becoming “informal leaders” inside their organizations. We dive into the habits top performers swear by... from elite time management and proactive learning to asking smarter questions, taking on more responsibility, and developing a broader perspective that sets you apart.

We also explore the personal side of leadership: investing in your health, improving mental clarity, creating realistic goals, and reverse-engineering the behaviors that make long-term success inevitable. If you're serious about career advancement, improving your leadership skills, or becoming the person companies want to promote, this episode gives you the blueprint.

Whether you're early in your career or eyeing your next big step, this conversation will help you build the habits, mindset, and daily actions that make leadership the next natural move.
