In today's episode of the UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders podcasts, hosts Dr. Troy and Ben-Jamin Toy chat with Luke Mickelson. Luke is a former breakdancer, passionate entrepreneur, and founder of the nationwide nonprofit Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

Luke opens up about an intense personal crisis that hits many successful creators: Founder Syndrome. He shares what happens when identity fusion causes a leader’s personal worth to become inseparable from their organization. From navigating the painful sting of relevance wounds to recognizing when defensive reactions threaten the very mission you built, Luke unpacks his UH-OH moment and the steps he took to step back, get help, and evolve into an ambassador. Whether you are a founder, executive, or emerging leader, this conversation offers vital lessons on emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and keeping your character distinct from your title.
