For David Kitchen — former Division 1 coach turned founder of Edge Leadership Academy — the whole game comes down to one decision: get out of the stands and step into the arena. In this episode, David and host Steve Ramona unpack why real service is impossible from the sidelines, and why holding yourself back isn't humble — it's selfish.Here's what you'll take away:Why "selfish and impact don't live together" — and how staying small keeps you from lighting someone else's candleThe one-vote leadership lesson from a high school coach that David still carries into boardrooms todayWhy the higher you climb the org chart, the less it's about youHow to lean into fear, take messy action, and let pressure "do its work"The truth about participation trophies — and the question that separates unable from unwillingPS: Watch for the parking-lot story — David pulling his used truck up next to a row of Ferraris at his first networking dinner, saying the wrong thing, and shrinking into his chair. Two years later, the entrepreneur at that same table became one of his biggest clients.
