Jeff and Brian reunite to reflect on the incredible journey of Leadership Level Up. From humble beginnings to a resounding success, the hosts were thrilled by the positive feedback and sense of unity that blossomed through their event.
During their conversation, Jeff reminisces about their Leadership Level Up podcast, which originated from coffee conversations and evolved into a platform for engaging interviews with leaders from various realms.

They express a desire to engage their audience more, inviting feedback and suggestions to ensure they cover relevant leadership topics. Acknowledging that leadership is a universal yet unique experience, they seek to understand how different leaders navigate their challenges.
The hosts also delve into the importance of understanding their team’s strengths, a practice they have incorporated into their company’s culture at Pathfinder. By utilizing strengths assessments, they nurture effective communication, reduce miscommunication, and celebrate each individual’s unique abilities. They revel in the joy of watching creativity flourish as their team brings ideas to life.

Listeners will appreciate the hosts’ candid reflections on leadership and the shared challenges that forge a sense of camaraderie among leaders.

Being a boss and a leader are very different. A boss tells you what to do and a leader partners with you in the process. Jeff, being a leader of leaders, has a vast knowledge of best practices and exercises to discover leadership traits. Brian shares stories with Jeff about the ups and downs of his leadership quest while talking to business and community leaders to discuss their personal leadership journey. Who influenced them? What do they do when they have a bad day? What gives them inspiration? Do french fries or tacos or ice cream make them feel better after a bad day? Through laughter and casual conversation, Brian and Jeff explore all aspects of good leadership.
