Description

What do you do when the people you work with don’t see the world like you do?

In this episode, I take you inside a pivotal lesson I learned during my four years as a boxing trainer. I constantly clashed with two male co-trainers who saw everything differently—training methods, values, leadership… all of it. But after one intense workout, it was a female member—who we all called Gator—who dropped the real wisdom.

She looked at me and said:
👉🏾 “Not everyone had that coach.”

That one sentence shifted everything.

And now, years later, I’m still dealing with the same dynamic.
Today, I work with educators who aren’t former trainers, who’ve never given a keynote, and haven’t authored books like I have. They come from a different world—and that same friction still exists.

In this episode, I break down the Top 5 Ways to Cope With Conflicting Worldviews, whether you're in a gym, a classroom, a boardroom, or anywhere in between:

  • 🧘🏾‍♂️ Breathe

  • 🗣️ Speak calmly

  • 🧠 Empathize

  • 🚧 Create professional distance

  • 🚶🏾‍♂️ Move the F*Ck on

📲 Tap in and hear how to turn conflict into clarity—because emotional endurance is what separates leaders from followers.
