    161: 5 Valuable Life Lessons I've Learned In The Last 5 Years

    16/02/2026 | 58 mins.
    Over the last five years, I’ve learned five lessons that changed how I lead, train, and live.

    In this episode, inspired by Pastor Craig Groeschel, I break down purpose, leadership “altitude,” selflessness, pride, and the cost of a rushed life through the lens of building BPN. We’ll hit the difference between complex vs. complicated problems, the dopamine drive, and how to build a culture that empowers people.

    I also share personal reflections, what I’m working on next, and how these lessons translate into real decisions at work and at home.

    00:00 Intro
    01:40 Purpose
    18:52 Rise/Dive
    30:38 Selflessness
