Across one fast moving conversation, they challenge the myths about authority, show why community beats ego and reframe recognition as a performance tool. You’ll hear the moment a title stops mattering, the habit that quietly multiplies team confidence and the simple practice that turns customers into champions.
If you’re leading a team, a chapter, or a company, this is your playbook for credibility in 2025 told by people who earn trust the hard way.
Press play, and bring a pen.
