Summary

Leadership is NOT a popularity contest! This episode is from a live event in 2022, where I invite an unsuspecting audience member to come on stage and share their story about trying new food. Through this story, we explore the often misunderstood world of coaching and leadership. We challenge the notion that popularity is the ultimate measure of success for coaches and leaders because true leaders prioritize authenticity, tough decisions, and pushing their teams to reach their full potential, even if it means being unpopular at times.
