🎙️ Episode 19 — Follow First: The Hidden Beginning of Every Great Leader

Series: Follow First — How Authentic Leaders Are Formed

Before you ever held a title, carried a vision, or led a team — you followed.

In this kickoff episode of our new series, Follow First, we peel back the layers of leadership to reveal what often gets overlooked: the hidden beginning.

Amanda shares how every authentic leader begins not with a platform, but with proximity — to mentors, to Jesus, and to their truest self. Through powerful reflection and storytelling, you’ll be invited to consider the voices that have shaped you and the ones you're following right now. Because leadership doesn’t begin with charisma or expertise. It begins with alignment.

If you’re ready to re-center your leadership on what really matters — presence over performance, formation over applause — this episode is your invitation to return to the Source.

✨ Explore:

• The danger of leading without first being led

• Why Jesus' model of leadership begins with intimacy and presence

• How your earliest influences still shape your leadership today

• A reframed definition of success rooted in alignment, not outcomes

• A preview of The Way of Metanoia — a transformative rhythm of pause, return, and embodiment

• Explore the Authentic Leadership Collective — an invitation-only space for courageous, spiritually rooted leaders
