Ep. 13 - You Don't Need to Have All the Answers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this lightning-round episode, Jada and Kim break down their biggest takeaways from their recent interview with Dr. Jim Floyd—owner of Ascent Total Performance and a standout example of what modern leadership really looks like in action.
Jim’s story mirrors what so many leaders experience: you excel in your craft… and suddenly you’re leading people, running a business, and navigating challenges no certification ever prepared you for. In this fast-paced debrief, Jada and Kim unpack the real, raw truths Jim shared about:
- Learning as you go—even as a successful CEO
- Balancing “stepping back” with staying connected to your team
- Empowering people without accidentally taking over
- Why high achievers struggle with wanting all the answers
- How vulnerability, communication, and curiosity make stronger leaders
Jim’s honesty about wrestling with leadership decisions—even while running thriving locations and launching new programs—reminds all of us that growth never stops. You don’t become a great leader by knowing everything. You become one by showing up, stumbling forward, and learning in real time.
Whether you’re a seasoned leader or stepping into leadership for the first time, this episode is your permission slip: you do not have to have it all figured out. What matters is your willingness to try, adjust, and try again.
Tune in and let this conversation challenge how you think about leadership, vulnerability, and the lifelong practice of empowering your team.
