In this episode of In The Arena, co-hosts Dominic Luke and Jared Miguez sit down with Jeffery Wayne Sonnenberg — a military veteran, real estate professional, and lifelong student of leadership.
Jeffery opens up about the moments that shaped him:
• Why he chose to join the military and what that experience taught him
• How sports, coaches, and mentors molded his discipline, resilience, and character
• The power of people in shaping who we become
• Why great leaders must allow their employees to fail — and why failure is the best teacher
• How giving your team real responsibility builds confidence, culture, and long-term success
As Jeffery shares, “Leadership isn’t about control — it’s about creating space for growth.”
This conversation is a deep dive into:
- Military mindset in business
- Emotional intelligence as a leader
- Developing your people through trust
- Letting go so your team can rise
- How personal history shapes professional excellence
If you're building a business, a team, or your own leadership skills — this episode hits home.
