On this episode of The Steady Leader Podcast, Schuyler Williamson sits down with Jordan Montgomery to explore what it truly means to lead—yourself, your team, and your company. Jordan and Schuyler discuss the importance of a young leader choosing a leader to follow: How should a young person choose a leader to work for? They discuss the importance of looking for leaders who excel in business, faith, marriage, and parenting. Make sure as a young leader, you align with those who help you grow in every area of life. Have a coachable spirit, not just a teachable one. Relationships drive growth.Key takeaways:Daily habits shape your future. Discipline, health, and intentional living matter.Ask more questions than you give answers. Listen, love, and guide your people to think for themselves.Cast vision consistently, focus on the big picture, and measure what matters.Jordan shares why leadership isn’t about doing it all perfectly—it’s about serving others, living abundantly, and making a difference where it counts.“The hardest person to lead is yourself—but doing hard things well sets you apart.”#Leadership #SteadyLeader #PersonalGrowth #TeamLeadership #YoungLeaders #LifeOfAbundance@jordanmmontgomery Email [email protected] for inquiries about Laundry Luv!Laundry Luv Franchise The Steady Leader book is now available on Amazon!

Is your business stuck? Are you not growing in your career? You might be skipping a step.In Iraq, I learned firsthand that what happens after the mission is just as important as the mission itself.

And it’s not just for the military—I use it in business too. At Laundry Luv, we ran an AAR after our first Franchise Discovery Day to make the next one even better.Leaders, your job is to equip your team to grow.

What does the Trinity teach us about leadership? God is three in one—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It’s a mystery, but also a model.

One of the Jobs of a Steady Leader? Constantly Thinking.In this episode, I share a real-world example from my construction company, Mission Home Builders. Even when things are going well, steady leaders ask: “What could stop us from growing?”The market in Austin has shifted—luxury real estate is slowing, rates are high, and development carries risk. So we made a bold move: we pivoted. Why? To protect and grow our investors' returns.Instead of being slowed down by the market, we asked, "Who makes money in a deal, no matter what? And how do we create that opportunity for our investors?"This episode unpacks the mindset behind leadership pivots, thinking through bottlenecks, and always staying one step ahead.Steady leaders solve real problems.
