In this episode, Jen explores the often neglected topic of hosting difficult conversations, especially in the realms of life and business. She emphasizes the importance of addressing uncomfortable situations, challenges, and confrontations as a leader. Drawing inspiration from the life of John O'Leary, a burn survivor and author of "On Fire," Jen discusses the transformative power of reframing the question "Why me?" During a pivotal moment in O'Leary's life, he shifted from a victim mentality to a victor mindset by asking, "Why me? Show me." Jen encourages listeners to adopt this perspective in their own lives, redirecting moments of adversity into opportunities for growth, learning, and service. She highlights the impact of such reframing on personal responsibility, leadership, and the journey toward becoming one's best self. The podcast serves as a thought-provoking reminder to navigate challenges with a mindset that seeks purpose and transformation.
