Welcome to the first official episode of Impact Without Limits - a show born from storms, strategy, and the fire that only comes from leading in the real world. Formerly Live to Lead, this rebrand isn’t just a new name-it’s a mission shift. Today, we’re calling out the tired leadership frameworks that reward performative politics over real influence and replacing them with unapologetic, purpose-driven leadership.

I’m co-creating a new brand, Everyday Influence, with a powerhouse colleague who shares the same vision: that leadership isn’t about playing the game... it’s about rewriting it.

In this episode, we’re diving into:
What it really takes to build a brand, whether personal, professional, or within a company that doesn’t quite see your vision yet.

Why the most powerful leaders often find their voice only after they’ve been silenced.

And the 3 signs it’s time to stop waiting for permission and start building what’s yours.

This episode is for anyone staring at the edge of “what if” and wondering if they’ve got the guts to leap. Spoiler: You do!

The best leaders don’t chase titles, they chase impact. In this episode, we’re calling in the ones who wake up ready—ready to do what’s right, to receive feedback with humility, and to lead like people actually matter. Because they do. This isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence. It's for the leader who knows progress doesn’t happen without people, and that the real flex is showing up consistently with integrity, care, and courage. If you're that kind of leader—or you're becoming one—this conversation will meet you right where you are and lift you even higher.

In this episode of Live to Lead, Dr. Mike Durnin—keynote speaker, mentor, and president of Via Crucis Leadership—joins us to talk about what it truly means to be a servant leader, especially in the face of chaos, challenge, and toxic environments.

With over 40 years of leadership experience, Dr. Durnin shares practical insights and lived wisdom for leaders who want to make a lasting impact while staying grounded in purpose, people, and personal values. Whether you’re leading a team, influencing from the middle, or navigating systems that don’t always honor servant leadership, this conversation will encourage and equip you to keep showing up.
