How can they harness this potential without getting lost in the wilderness of ego and expectation? These are some of the questions we’ll tackle, drawing insights from leaders who’ve walked this path, including the remarkable consistency of figures like Chuck Swindoll, whose authenticity bridges his public persona and personal interactions seamlessly.

But this episode is more than just a collection of leadership anecdotes. It’s an invitation to introspect – to ask yourself, “What does greatness look like for me?” Whether it’s the quiet confidence of knowing your strengths and weaknesses or the boldness to act consistently across situations, greatness is within your grasp.
