Ep. 120: Courage Casts - Wearing Stress as a Badge of Courage

In this Courage Cast, Josh takes a hard look at a mindset many first responders and leaders know well: wearing stress like a badge of honor. Drawing from his time in law enforcement leadership, he explores how constant busyness can become a status signal and why that culture quietly undermines teams. Josh challenges leaders to shift the focus from urgency to effectiveness, and to be intentional about the message their words and behavior send. If you lead people or work in a high-pressure environment, this episode will make you think differently about what performance should really look like.
