Even the best leaders feel fear — the fear of making the wrong call, letting the crew down, or not having all the answers when it matters most. In this episode I break down five common fears that show up when you're under pressure and shows you how to lead through them with clarity, trust, and grit.

If you’ve ever second-guessed a decision or felt the weight of leadership in the heat of the moment, this one's for you. Learn how to spot overload early, have the tough conversations, and lean on your crew’s strengths when it counts. These aren’t theories, they’re real-world tactics from the front lines.

Because true leaders don’t avoid fear — they run towards it.
