Most Leaders Want to Be Followed… But Too Few Are Willing to Be Led First

Coach Paul explores the paradox of leadership. The desire for influence versus the refusal of instruction. Drawing from Psalm 119 and his decades of experience in martial arts and coaching high achievers, Paul argues that true leadership isn't about titles or ego. It's about self-mastery and spiritual alignment. He challenges you to audit your "coachability" and realize that if you cannot lead yourself through a morning routine or personal discipline, you will have challenges trying to lead a team, a family, or a business.
