Sometimes the breakdown doesn’t happen at work.

It happens within you.

And if you don’t stop and face it, it will show up in how you lead, how you communicate, and how your team experiences you.

In this episode, I talk about a season where I had to sit down and stop pretending I was okay.

Not publicly.

Not professionally.

Personally.

Because what we avoid in our personal lives always finds its way into our leadership.

We get into:
• the patterns we don’t want to face
• how unprocessed emotions impact decision-making and trust
• the quiet pressure leaders carry
• and what happens when you finally stop pushing through and start paying attention

This is what I call the dark side of leadership.

Not the visible parts.

The hidden ones.

If leadership has been feeling heavier than usual, or you’ve been holding it together longer than you should have, this conversation will hit.

If your leadership feels off, heavy, or harder than it should be, there’s a reason.

Kingdom of Fraud

Kingdom of Fraud

It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
