Who is someone who has challenged the way you think or encouraged you to pursue something you were afraid to try?

For me, that person is Ryan Leek. His book, Chasing Failure, challenged me to look at failure differently. Instead of seeing failure as something to avoid, what if we saw it as part of pursuing something worthwhile?

That's an important lesson in leadership and in life.

Sometimes the fear of failing keeps us from trying. It keeps us from taking the next step, having the difficult conversation, or pursuing the goal we've been thinking about.

But if we're never willing to fail, what are we unwilling to try?

Who in your circle has challenged the way you think?

Leadership isn't something we arrive at. It's something we continue to develop.

The best leaders I know are still learning, still asking questions, still listening to other perspectives, and still looking for ways to become better.

That's one of the reasons I value opportunities like Live2Lead. It brings leaders together to learn, grow, and be challenged by ideas that can make a real difference - not just in how we lead others, but in how we lead ourselves.

You don't have to wait until you're "ready" to invest in your leadership. Start learning today and don't ever stop.

What's one are of your leadership you're intentionally working to improve right now?

What does a marathon teach you about life?

In 2023, I ran the LA Marathon. Crossing that finish line was a great accomplishment, but the biggest lesson didn't come from the race day. They came from the months of preparation - the early mornings, the discipline, the days when I didn't feel like training, and the decision to keep going anyways.

Personal growth often works the same way. We want the results, but the results are built on everyday choices we make when nobody is watching.

Discipline builds when motivation starts.

Whether it's your health, your relationships, your faith, your work, or your goals, small consistent choices can take you farther than you think.

What is one area of your life where you need to stay committed - even when you don't feel like it?

Who are the people who challenge you, teach you, encourage you, and help you see life from a different perspective?

For me, Valerie Burton is one of those people.

Valerie has a gift for helping people look deeper, ask better questions, and be intentional about the life they're building. Her wisdom has challenged and encouraged me in my own journey of leadership and personal growth.

The people we surround ourselves with matter. They shape our thinking, stretch our perspective, and often help us become who we're capable of becoming.

So take a look at your circle. Who is making you better?

Gratitude changes our perspective.

It's easy to keep looking ahead - to the next goal, the next opportunity, or the next thing we want to accomplish. But Thanksgiving gives us a chance to slow down and recognize what we already have.

I'm grateful for my wife and for my family. For the friends who have walked alongside me. For the people who have invested in my life. I'm grateful for the chance to keep learning, growing, serving, and making a difference in this world. And most of all, I'm grateful to God for the people and experiences that continue to shape my life.

Gratitude has a way of changing our perspective.

Before you rush into what's next, take a moment to appreciate what's already here.

What's one thing you're especially grateful for this Thanksgiving?

Are you giving your most important relationships your best - or just what's left?

It's easy to give our best energy to work, goals, and everything we're trying to accomplish. But the relationships that matter most shouldn't get whatever is left over.

For me, one of the greatest investments I can make is in my marriage to Debbie. After 42 years together, I've learned that a strong marriage doesn't happen by accident. It takes time, attention, patience, forgiveness, laughter, and choosing each other again and again.

Leadership isn't just about how we lead at work. It's also how we love, serve, and show up for the people waiting for us at home.

What are you doing with what you've been given?

We often think about stewardship in terms of money. But I believe it goes much deeper than that.

What are you doing with your time?
Your abilities?
Your relationships?
Your opportunities?
Your resources?

We don't all start with the same things, but we all have something we've been entrusted with.

The question isn't simply, "How much do I have?"
It's "What am I doing with what I have?"

For me, good stewardship means using what I've been given in a way that creates value, serves others, and makes a difference.

What's one thing you've been given that you want to steward better?

What are your non-negotiable values?

It's one thing to know what you value. It's another thing to know what you are not willing to compromise.

For me, those values include faith, family, generosity, compassion, connection, humility, and intentional living.

When you know what you stand for, it becomes easier to know what to say yes to - and what to say no to.

Take a minute to watch my thoughts and then ask yourself:
What are the values you refuse to compromise?

Who's in your circle?

The people we surround ourselves with have a way of shaping how we think, how we lead, and who we become.

For me, John C. Maxwell has been one of those people. Through his books, teaching, and personal influence, John has challenged me to keep learning, keep growing, and keep investing in others.

Your circle doesn't have to be large. It just needs to be intentional.

Who is someone in your circle who challenges you to become better?

A microphone gives you a platform, but a platform is only valuable if you're using it to make a difference.

One of the things I value most about what I get to do is invest in people - whether I'm speaking to business leaders, training teams, teaching students, or simply sitting down with someone who needs encouragement and perspective.

But leadership isn't just about what we accomplish, it's about who we help along the way.

Who has invested in you and helped shape the person you've become??
