In this episode, I sat down with sales and business coach, Brent Long of Long on Life (and a dear friend) to dive into a powerful and often overlooked leadership trait—love. Not the soft, sentimental kind, but the kind of love that truly pushes people to be their best. Brent and I talked about how real love in leadership means holding people to high standards because you see their potential. It’s about believing in them enough to challenge them, stretch them, and sometimes have the hard conversations that help them grow. We shared stories, lessons, and practical ways leaders can show love by investing in people and calling out the greatness in them—even when it’s uncomfortable. It was a meaningful conversation that reminded me that love, when done right, is one of the most powerful forces in leadership.Brewing Better Leaders with Bill Montgomery - Episode 06 Guest: Brent Long  Sponsor: Dulci Sweets (https://dulcisweets.com/)  20% off a Trio Bundle when you use the code Bill20 20% off any Business Gift Assortment with the code LL20
