Episode Zero is an orientation\u2014not to the podcast, but to where this season is coming from. Instead of interviews and polished takeaways, this season moves closer to the lived experience of leadership: the middle of it, where answers aren\u2019t finished and decisions still carry weight. Drawing from years of leading in environments shaped by constant change\u2014first in the military, then as an entrepreneur and nonprofit leader\u2014this episode explains why the format changed and what listeners can expect going forward. Not because the old way stopped working, but because something deeper shifted. This season is less about presenting conclusions and more about working through questions leaders are quietly carrying: What happens when you\u2019ve outgrown a role, but not the responsibility? How do you lead well when your environment hasn\u2019t caught up to who you\u2019re becoming? How do you stay grounded when expectations keep shifting\u2014but the stakes remain high? You\u2019ll hear ideas in progress. You\u2019ll hear pauses. You\u2019ll hear leadership from the inside\u2014not the highlight reel. If you\u2019re navigating transition, sensing your leadership evolve, or feeling stretched between who you\u2019ve been and who you\u2019re becoming, this season is designed to meet you there. Episode One is where the real work begins. ","author_name":"#zigszagsandpivots","author_url":"http:\/\/zigszagsandpivots.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
