What this book is not: It is not a leadership academic resource, filled with principles, methodologies, laws, or processes – it’s a conversation. It’s like we sat down and shared stories over an ice-cold beer or chilled tequila on a hot, sunny day. It is an unconventional leadership book, an autobiography of lessons learned.

By listening to this book, you’ll be taken on a ride with me through my personal leadership story. I call it my journey or ride. While you’re listening to the tales of my woes and cat-howl moments, I encourage you to think about your own ride, your stories, and how my experiences might offer you some insight into what’s happening on your journey. Our specific trades or crafts might be different, but don’t be too quick to skip over the details of the ride. The lessons are in the stories. Stories make lessons stickier, like lock-tight to a nut and bolt. Challenge yourself to find the similarities that might be happening in your life. Fix what’s not working or no longer fits and cat-howl, growl, and pound your chest for the stuff you’ve got dialed-in.

Then get out there and pay it forward. Help develop other badass leaders by sharing your lessons learned. Yes, the good, bad, and ugly!

If you haven’t already, I’d love it if you’d join the club at www.badassleader.com, so we can keep this thing going and support one another. We’re just getting started.
