In this episode, Bill and Marty unpack what it means to be Self-led as a person, a business, and even a society. They explore how trauma shapes our inner parts, how self-awareness begins, and why lasting recovery is about healing what's underneath addiction. Bill shares his personal experience with 12-step recovery, the shift that happened through Byron Katie's work, and the journey from doing his best to simply being his best. It's a thoughtful and honest conversation about inner change, leadership, and how real transformation starts within.
