In this bold and honest episode, JM Ryerson sits down with leadership expert Jeff Hancher to tackle one of the toughest challenges today: giving firm feedback in a fragile world. From Jeff’s rise as a truck driver to a Fortune 500 leader and entrepreneur, his journey is packed with real lessons on courage, accountability, and transformation.

Jeff breaks down the fears that hold leaders back (Fallout, Emotion, Amateur, Retaliation) and offers a mindset shift: stop asking “What if I have this conversation?” and start asking “What if I don’t?” You’ll hear how tough feedback changed Jeff’s life and why leadership is about earning the right to be both candid and caring.

Whether you lead a large team or just yourself, this episode will push you to embrace discomfort, see conflict as a growth tool, and lead with strength and heart.

Why firm feedback is the ultimate act of care — and how to deliver it effectively
The fears stopping leaders (and how to overcome them)
