E90: Lessons We Wish We Knew Earlier with Tyler Burns & Du'Bois A'Keen

In this powerful episode of The New Rules Podcast, recorded live at the Black Leadership Summit, Adrian and Bri are joined by two respected voices in leadership, Tyler Burns and Du'Bois A'Keen, for an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes conversation.

They don't offer platitudes or recycled leadership clichés. Instead, they get honest about the weight of responsibility, the danger of being platformed too early, and the tension between authenticity and expectation.

Together, they reflect on their personal leadership journeys, the pressure of leading while being watched, and the internal work it takes to lead with integrity, not image.

If you've ever wondered whether you're doing leadership "right" or felt like the weight of it was too much, this conversation is for you. Check out Du'Bois Here: https://www.duboisakeen.com/ Check out Tyler Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pass-the-mic/id1435500798
