Leaning Into Discomfort Leads to Personal Progress

I've been thinking about conflict this week—and not just the kind that involves a heated argument or a workplace showdown. This episode, I get personal about how I've often dodged difficult conversations, both in my career at FedEx and in my everyday relationships. What does it really mean to avoid discomfort, and how might that be holding us back? If you've ever found yourself sidestepping those cringe-worthy moments, this one’s for you.But here's the twist that hit me today: what if we saw conflict—especially internal conflict—as our greatest opportunity for growth? Whether it's wrestling with our own identity, tackling new challenges in business (like getting comfortable on video!), or facing tough gospel questions, I dive into why our sticking points might actually be our launching pads. Maybe it’s time to stop equating conflict with contention, and start seeing those uncomfortable moments as the very places where transformation happens. Think about it: Are you leaning away from conflict, or leaning into growth?Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.
