Welcome to Episode 10 of Tide Talk — the 15-minute podcast series from Ride The Wave Foundation, hosted by Jeff Fisher and Javon Blue.
This episode is all about being unapologetically yourself.
💡 The Wave Maker principle Be Genuine and Authentic is more than a feel-good phrase. It’s a transformative leadership value — one that builds trust, forges connection, and inspires movement.
In a world full of filters, false personas, and pressure to conform, Jeff and Javon dive into the beauty and boldness of leading with authenticity.
🎧 In just 15 minutes, you’ll learn:
• Why faking it kills trust (and connection)
• How to step into spaces as your true self
• The power of being "outside the box" in mentorship and leadership
• Real-life stories from Ride The Wave’s journey and Jeff’s personal growth
• The emotional, spiritual, and social freedom that comes from being real
📖 Research shows that authenticity is directly tied to higher levels of influence, leadership success, and relational satisfaction. When people feel you’re real, they open up too.
