In this episode, we break down how to lead with intentionality, presence, and gratitude, using a quick-hit framework every leader can benefit from. Whether you're managing a team, coaching athletes, or building culture inside your gym, these five principles will help you create more buy-in, build stronger relationships, and elevate performance across the board.

Key Leadership Takeaways:

Smile: Be the thermostat, not the thermometer—set the tone.
Work the Room: Be visible, not just available.
Find a Friend: Be approachable and down-to-earth.
Instigate Success: Catch people doing things right. Coach in real time.
Thankfulness: Appreciation starts at the top.
