Jonathan is at a crossroad in his leader’s journey. He’s completed all of the Illuminate questions and surfaced his vision of meaningful change. In this episode, he reveals how it feels to lose himself before finding his true path. As he embarks into the next phase of his leader’s journey, I explain what it means to “Amplify”, and then ask him what he’s bringing with him of all that he’s illuminated.
