Hosted by Steve Chua and Pete Cafarchio, the show explores the inner dynamics of leadership—and how they shape culture, performance, and sustainable growth.

Transformation Tip: “There is nothing to fear except the power you give your own demons” - Sally Gardner
- What do we mean by your demons? - Internal thoughts and emotions that oppress, depress, obsess, and judge us or others.
- They imprison our minds with negative emotions and cause us to interpret life and relationships through a negative and potentially destructive lens
- Leads to irrational behavior and unhealthy internal narratives
- Leads to confusion because it’s often not rational or logical
- 2 types of internal conflict
- If we keep our demons it utilizes our energy to suppress our feelings and thoughts which will eventually exhaust us or affect our productivity.
In this episode, we will go over how to face, identify, and manage your demons in practical ways! This will set us up for the following weeks as we dive deeper into this series.
Transformation Application: If you’ve identified an unhealthy narrative, try to identify where it came from.
