Episode Summary

When was the last time you felt off your game—not burned out, but just off? In this solo episode, Coach Mo breaks down how high-achieving leaders drift into autopilot, self-doubt, and overthinking…and how to reclaim what he calls your SWAG: Self-awareness, Why-power, Aligned actions, and Grit. Through the story of one anxious executive prepping for a high-stakes presentation, you’ll hear how mindset, energy, and intention create real confidence. If you're leading from fear instead of fire, this episode gives you a practical, repeatable path to get back in alignment.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• SWAG Is Your Inner Armor: True leadership starts with energy, intention, and alignment—not titles or tactics.
• Fear vs. Fire: Your inner critic thrives when you lead on autopilot. Shifting to “fire” means leading with values, purpose, and conviction.
• Confidence Comes From Clarity: When your why is clear, your actions align—and your grit returns.
• No Applause Needed: One of the strongest forms of grit? Doing the hard thing even when no one notices.
• A 4-Question Reset: Reclaim your SWAG daily with these:
  • What’s my energy like today?
  • What’s my why for this work?
  • What’s one aligned action I can take?
  • Where have I shown grit this week, even without applause?
