The lessons don’t come from the highlight reel. They come from the mistakes.

Jake Laban and Tod Reed return to Injecting Leadership with video, a new Executive Producer, Ashley Nicole Miller, and plenty of stories they probably couldn’t have told early in their careers.

In this special episode ahead of Season Two, we revisit the moments that shaped us as leaders: tough feedback, painful mistakes, and learning how to turn ambition into something people actually want to follow. There’s also a tuna fish sandwich story that remains firmly outside any approved management handbook.

We share what’s ahead for the show, including conversations about hiring, culture, private equity, marketing, AI, and the changing landscape of medical aesthetics and wellness.

Whether you’re leading a practice, building a business, managing your first team, or raising a family, these lessons reach beyond the workplace.
