He Lost His Son & Failed 30 Times — What He Learned About Leadership
Jason Reed built a company from his second bedroom into a 3,500-employee business with five brands across the nation. He's coached CEOs for 15 years, failed at over 30 companies, and lost tens of millions of dollars along the way.But in March of 2018, Jason experienced the loss no parent should ever face — his 14-year-old son took his own life.That moment changed everything. It changed how he leads, how he shows up for his people, and why he now dedicates his life to making sure no other parent misses what he missed.In this episode of The Impactful Leader, host Chris sits down with Jason to talk about:🔹 Why he calls himself a "builder of people" — not a CEO🔹 What 30+ business failures taught him that success never could🔹 "Failure is an event, not an identity" — how to bounce back without losing yourself🔹 Why discipline and written goals separate leaders from dreamers🔹 The signs of mental health struggles he wishes he'd recognized sooner🔹 Why frontline managers MUST be equipped for mental health conversations🔹 How leading with vulnerability creates stronger teams — and real ROI🔹 "Do your employees want to give you a hug?

The silent threat of modern leadership Costing You Thousands at Home
Are you winning at work but losing at home? In this episode of the Impactful Leader Podcast, host Chris sits down with leadership coach and author Kelly Tolman to expose the silent threat of modern leadership and Work Mistake: Isolation.We often think "ministry" only happens inside a church, or that success is defined by our profit margins. But if you are compartmentalizing your faith, family, and career, you might be heading toward a crash. Kelly shares his powerful concept of "Portable Mirrors"—the people we need in our lives to show us the blind spots we can't see in ourselves.If you are a business owner, pastor, or leader who feels successful yet lonely, this conversation is the wake-up call you need to start living an integrated life.In this episode, we cover:1) The Danger of Isolation: Why isolation is the first step toward moral and relational failure for leaders.2) The "Winning vs. Losing" Trap: How to identify if you are succeeding professionally while neglecting your most important relationships.3) What is a "Portable Mirror"? The specific type of accountability partner every leader needs to survive.4) Redefining Ministry: Kelly explains concepts from his book Ambushed by God, showing how your workplace is your actual mission field.5) Embracing Disruption: How to handle when God disrupts your plans and why obedience often looks like letting go.Resources & Next Steps:💡The Great Wealth Heist Assessment → https://kingdomroi.typeform.com/wealthheisttestKingdom ROI main site — all offerings and info👉 https://kingdomroi.org/• Kingdom ROI University — free foundational training + mindset resources👉 https://kingdomroi.org/university/ • Podcast (faith-based wealth, legacy, leadership)👉 https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/the-impactful-leader/id1852272191⏱️ Timestamps:00:05:44:03 | Is Loneliness an Epidemic Among Leaders and Business Owners?00:06:45:12 | How Does Isolation Lead to Loneliness in Leadership?00:07:48:13 | Why are Pastors and Business Owners the Loneliest Leaders?00:09:26:08 | What is the Consequence of Leading in Isolation?00:09:51:11 | How Can You Be Winning at Work but Losing at Home?00:11:02:08 | Who is Able to Call Out Your Blind Spots as a Leader?00:14:02:23 | Why Are Men in Your Life Like a Portable Mirror?00:14:50:19 | How Do We Move from Compartmentalized to Integrated Living?00:17:59:02 | Does God Only Interrupt in Quiet Retreats or Normal Life?00:22:07:20 | Is Having a Busy Career Preventing Me from Doing Ministry?00:26:28:05 | How Do You Plan Your Way and Still Allow for God's Disruption?00:27:13:18 | What Does it Mean to Live with Ambiguity with Jesus?00:29:04:10 | How Can I Be Prepared to Share My Faith Without Relying on Methods?00:30:05:06 | Why Does Obedience Often Follow Disruption in Life?00:31:37:07 | Can Disruption Be a Precursor to Promotion in Faith?00:35:18:13 | How Do You Recognize the Hand of God in Interruptions?00:35:55:03 | How Can You Be Convicted of Sin Without Condemnation?00:37:26:06 | What if Interruption is Designed to Lead You to Connection?00:40:02:05 | What is the Coaching Principle About Finding Resources in Struggle?👇 LEAVE A COMMENT:Do you have a "Portable Mirror" in your life—someone who tells you the hard truth?
