In this episode, Brett and Joe talk about leadership—not just the title or position, but about what it truly means to lead and be a leader. They explore how leadership emerges in every moment of life, from boardrooms to families to personal choices, and how emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and conviction shape the kind of leader we become.
