Message me your 'Takeaways'.

Most leadership advice tells you to be tougher. Push through. Grind it out. But after running 58 marathons in 58 days and coaching over 1,200 high-performing men, I have learned the most powerful leadership skill has nothing to do with endurance.

In this video, I share the story of a 12-hour overnight walk through Brisbane that taught me two critical lessons about leading men. One about what happens when you do not set standards. And one about what happens when you simply invite someone in.

My dad, recovering from prostate cancer surgery, drove two hours to join us. He planned to walk half an hour. He stayed for four. And the four words he said when he finally stopped changed how I coach, lead, and show up for the people in my life.

If you are a man who feels like you are carrying everything alone, who has never actually invited someone into your world, this might be the most important leadership lesson you hear this year.
