It’s time to get into something real…because if we want better for ourselves, our relationships, and the world we live in—it starts with accountability.

In this episode of Operation Be, I’m diving deep into the importance of owning your sh*t. From billionaires and celebrities to everyday team dynamics, we’re seeing a serious lack of responsibility everywhere—and it’s toxic.

I’m sharing some personal stories from my own leadership journey and unpacking how entitlement and lack of self-awareness can rot a culture from the inside out. We’ll talk about spotting the “leaks” in your own life, what it actually means to take responsibility, and why creating a culture of accountability is non-negotiable if you want real, lasting success.

This isn’t about blame—it’s about empowerment. Because the moment you start holding yourself accountable is the moment everything starts to shift.

🎧 Tune in now. The truth might sting a little, but it’s what sets you free.
