Life's Storms: The Test of Resilience

In Episode 007 of The Leadership Contrarian, Michael Redman, CEO of Half a Bubble Out, shares a deeply personal story that reveals what leadership really looks like when life doesn't go according to plan. When a sudden health crisis hits his family, everything accelerates—decisions, emotions, responsibilities—and the reality becomes clear: leadership isn't just about performance in stable moments. It's about what holds you steady when everything shifts at once. This conversation explores resilience not as a concept, but as something built over time—through faith, relationships, and the margins you create long before a crisis arrives. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why resilience isn't something you create in the moment • What leaders are actually carrying during seasons of uncertainty • The role of faith and daily grounding in staying steady • How relationships and inner circles strengthen your capacity • Why financial, time, and structural margin matter more than you think This episode is for leaders who want to grow their capacity before the storm hits—so when it does, they're not trying to hold everything together for the first time. 👉 Subscribe to The Leadership Contrarian newsletter: https://info.halfabubbleout.com/leadership-contrarian-newsletter
