What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to the show!

Today, we’re digging into one of the most underrated competitive edges in business, leadership, and life—character. In a world obsessed with applause, overnight wins, and external validation, it’s the silent victories, private discipline, and internal grit that define who you become.

Joining me today is Josh Miller, and we go deep on: 

✅ Why adversity is essential for building real strength

✅ How silent seasons shape your identity more than public ones

✅ The difference between people who sustain success—and those who burn out

✅ Why your work ethic matters most when nobody's watching

 ✅ How leaders build trust by doing the unglamorous work, every day

We also talk about building momentum from rock bottom, parenting with purpose, why athletes make great teammates, and why your ability to bounce back is your biggest asset. 

🔥 CHALLENGE: Ask yourself: Am I showing up consistently when no one’s watching? Where do I need to realign with who I say I am? Choose one area this week—and take action.
