197 - Green Beret Lessons for Founders - Leadership That Scales with Otis McGregor

Otis McGregor doesn't just teach leadership—he’s lived it. A retired Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel turned entrepreneur, Otis shares hard-earned lessons on how to lead with clarity, trust, and purpose.

He offers a refreshingly direct take on what it means to lead in today’s world—whether that’s in a combat zone, a boardroom, or your own home.

Otis opens up about the grit behind his 38-year marriage, the power of vulnerability, and how true leadership starts with knowing your purpose and building your tribe. His company, Tribe + Purpose, helps business founders develop leaders at every level of their team, enabling them to scale without burning out.
