In this episode of The Courage to Live Podcast, Josh Bitsko explores the unseen pressure that comes with leadership, the quiet responsibility of carrying decisions, outcomes, and emotions that others never see. Drawing from his experience commanding hundreds within the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Josh talks about how to lead without losing yourself, how to find balance between duty and rest, and why true strength as a leader means sharing the weight instead of carrying it alone.
