It takes a certain amount of ego to grow.

What does ego have to do with leadership growth? A lot more than you might think. This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let’s Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam are tackling a quote they use at every training session to give leaders a quick “check-up from the neck up”: “It takes a certain amount of ego to grow. Too little and you don't think you can. Too much and you don't think you need to.” In this episode, it’s just the two of them—no guest, just M&M—breaking down how ego can either push you forward or hold you back. They explore how ego shows up in leadership, why self-awareness is the game-changer, and what happens when confidence either disappears or takes over. Whether you’re leading a team or leading yourself, this one will make you pause, reflect, and reset.
