    2025/09/29

    In this episode, JP shares a powerful story from a jiu-jitsu competition where nerves could have taken over — but instead, breathing and acceptance became the game-changer. We explore how box breathing and releasing attachment to outcomes shift your mindset, calm the nervous system, and build true confidence. Beyond competition, this practice applies to daily leadership, career moves, and personal challenges.

  • What You’re Carrying and How to Lighten the Load
    2025/09/23

    Leadership isn’t just about making decisions — it’s about carrying the weight that comes with them. From the pressure to perform, to the anxiety of doing it all alone, that weight shows up in your work, your relationships, and even your mindset.

    In this episode of Lead with Confidence, I get real about my own journey with leadership — the stress, the ego battles, and the moments of self-sabotage that come when the load gets too heavy.

    You’ll also get five reflection prompts to help you identify what you’re carrying right now and where it might be affecting your life.

    This is the first step in a bigger conversation. Today is about awareness. Next time, we’ll dive into what you can actually do to lighten the load.

    If leadership feels heavy on your shoulders, this episode is for you.

    In this episode of Lead with Confidence, JP Warren sits down with Tony Beebe, an engineer-turned-leader with 20+ years in oil & gas and private equity–backed companies. Tony shares his journey from the rig floor to the boardroom, and how he pivoted into helping companies buy and sell while building one of LinkedIn’s top voices in oil & gas M&A.

    • The evolution of private equity in oil & gas over the last 15 years.

    • Why scaling companies 3X requires a complete shift in systems, leadership, and mindset.

    • The habits that hold leaders back — and the one habit that unlocks growth.

    • How buyer behavior has changed and why building a personal brand online isn’t optional anymore.

    • Tony’s approach to posting with purpose: teaching lessons, staying positive, and connecting content to revenue.

    Tony also shares candid stories about starting his own company, the white-knuckle moments of hitting “post” online, and the importance of journaling, celebrating wins, and redefining success along the entrepreneurial journey.

    If you’ve ever wondered how to adapt to a shifting market, scale without breaking your systems, or start building credibility online, this episode is packed with insights you can use.

  • Weight of Leadership
    2025/09/09

    Leadership comes with responsibility, pressure, and often—silence. Too many leaders carry the weight of decisions, expectations, and challenges on their own. In this episode, I open up about my own journey with the weight of leadership: the anxiety of feeling like it’s all on your shoulders, the battles with ego and doubt, and the toll it can take when you don’t share the load.

    We’ll also dive into the real-world consequences of carrying it all yourself—burnout, strained relationships, isolation—and why awareness is the first step to relief. I’ll leave you with five reflection prompts to help you identify what you’re carrying and where the pressure comes from.

    This is the first step in a series on leadership. Today is about awareness. Next time, we’ll dig into how to lighten the load, delegate, and reframe leadership challenges into opportunities for growth.

  • Don't turn your customers into Junkies
    2025/03/14

    If you’re competing on price, you’re already losing.

    Too many salespeople fall into the trap of low-cost selling, thinking that dropping their price is the only way to win the deal. But here’s the truth—customers don’t actually buy on price alone. They buy based on trust, value, and confidence in what you offer.

    Why price-based selling kills your margins and leads to weak customer relationships
    How to shift the conversation from cost to real business impact
    The #1 mistake salespeople make when trying to justify their pricing
    How soft skills—like communication, trust-building, and influence—help you sell beyond price
    Real strategies you can implement today to differentiate yourself and close deals with confidence

    If you’re ready to stop racing to the bottom and start selling on value, this episode is for you.
