What does it really mean to win—or lose—when leadership is always evolving?

This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let’s Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam are joined by success coach, author, and speaker Brian Bartes for a powerful conversation inspired by this week’s quote: “Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts.” — Winston Churchill

Together, they unpack the deeper meaning of courage—the quiet kind that helps us keep going after setbacks and leads us forward through uncertainty. From the pressure of defining success to the fear of failure, this episode explores how resilience is built and how action becomes the bridge between potential and progress. Brian shares stories, insight, and practical tools that will help every leader reframe failure and take courageous next steps.
