Think Like a Leader with Dorian Albritton
Think Like a Leader is the show for busy, overloaded professionals who are building something real while still showing up for the people and work that matter.
Host Dorian Albritton sits down with operators, founders, and leaders to break down the thinking patterns behind high performance. Every episode pulls back the mental frameworks, standards, and decisions that help leaders execute under pressure, lead people well, and stop living in reaction mode.
This isn't leadership theory from the top of the mountain. It's the real work of leading yourself first so you can lead anyone else.

Stop Controlling, Start Leading: The Power of Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this Leadership Lessons from the Bookshelf episode, Dorian Albritton unpacks Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory, a simple but profound mindset shift that’s taking off because it addresses a universal leadership struggle: control.
Most of us want others to act the way we think they should. When they don’t, frustration follows. But Robbins’ theory flips the script: instead of trying to control others, let them. As Dorian shares from his own experience, applying this approach in leadership and life can feel like a weight lifted.
In this episode you will learn:
- Why releasing control frees both you and others.
- How unmet expectations—not real problems—often create frustration.
- Why protecting your energy is essential to lead effectively.
- How discernment allows you to balance letting go with holding accountability.
Your 2% Edge this week: Pick one situation where you’re frustrated by someone else’s behavior and simply practice “let them.” Notice the shift in your own energy when you do.
