Victim, Villain, Hero or Guide — Which Role Are You Playing?
Description
This choice defines your future. Every leader lives out four roles: victim, villain, hero, and guide. The question isn’t whether these roles will show up in your story — it’s which one you’ll choose next.
In this episode of Badass Softie, Dr. J.J. Peterson unpacks Donald Miller’s Hero on a Mission framework and shows why your leadership story changes the moment you stop playing small. Through personal stories (including the time he auditioned for a Missy Elliott music video) and insights from leaders he’s worked with around the world, J.J. reveals how to step into a story of courage, growth, and impact.
Here's what you'll take away:
-Why living in the victim role keeps you stuck and powerless
-How villains are created by unhealed pain — and why their story always collapses
-The truth about heroes: they’re not fearless, they just keep going
-Why the guide role creates the most meaningful life and lasting influence
-How to recognize the role you’re playing right now and choose a better one
