What if chasing success was the very thing holding you back from real leadership?

In this episode of The Root of All Success, I sit down with Scott Ramey — a former Fortune 500 executive turned authentic leadership coach who’s redefining what it means to lead with empathy, vulnerability, and purpose.

Scott went from leading billion-dollar teams and climbing the corporate ladder to realizing that “success” wasn’t the title or the paycheck—it was the freedom to show up as himself. Now, he helps high-performing leaders break free from perfectionism, connect more deeply with their teams, and build sustainable success through authentic leadership.

💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why authenticity beats perfection in leadership
• The hidden link between anxiety, performance, and burnout
• How to build trust that actually drives results
• The “Ramey Method” for leading with empathy and impact
• Why tone and communication matter more than strategy
• How to shift from performing to truly leading

This conversation isn’t about corporate buzzwords—it’s about rediscovering the human side of leadership and unlocking influence that lasts.

If you’ve ever wondered what real leadership looks like beyond titles and metrics… this episode is your blueprint.
