John Jaramillo has hosted over 160 episodes of The Book Leads Podcast, and Jackson calls him the best host he's ever been interviewed by. Today the tables are turned, and John is dropping some of the deepest leadership insight this show has seen. In this episode, John and Jackson unpack why curiosity isn't just a nice to-have, it's the bedrock of everything. They break down the POC formula for leading through conflict, why uncertainty is actually a leadership advantage, and how the stories you tell (or misuse) will either build your authority or quietly destroy it.
