Hey, Keep the Changers! I’ve got something close to my heart to share with you in this episode. You know, after over two years of Keep the Change, I’ve been reflecting on the journey we’ve been on together. I feel like it’s time to shift gears slightly—not a full detour, but more of a refined focus that feels right in my bones.

I’ve been fortunate to work with businesses, ministries like Celebrate Recovery, and within my bootcamps, helping individuals discover and strengthen their leadership abilities. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most vital aspects of leadership: self-discipline. This isn’t just about what you do when people are watching; it’s about the work you put in when nobody is around.

What We Discuss In This Episode:

In this episode, I’m diving into what I believe is the most important leadership principle: self-discipline. Yep, that’s right—discipline and consistency. It’s the not-so-glamorous stuff that separates those who reach the top from those who don’t. I talk about some hard-earned lessons on discipline from my own life, including my 39 years of sobriety and the work I’ve done with businesses and ministries.

Here’s the deal: If you want to achieve greatness, whether in business or life, you need to get clear on what you want, why you want it, and how you’re going to get there. I’m laying it all out in this episode—practical tips, and some tough love that’ll get you fired up to take action.

Here’s something for you to reflect on after this episode: Which self-discipline mountain consistently gives you the most difficulty? Is it making cold calls, managing time, or sticking to a workout routine? Whatever it is, I challenge you to dive deep and ask yourself why—five times, to get to the root of the issue. Once you understand your "why," you can create a strategy to conquer it.
