Confidence. Courage. Boldness. We love to talk about them, post about them, hashtag them, and slap them on coffee mugs. But let’s be real—most of us aren’t sure how to actually build them in our own lives. Which is why we brought in Michelle “MACE” Curran , former fighter pilot and only the second woman in history to fly lead solo for the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, to the show. Yep, she’s the real deal—flying combat missions, performing death-defying maneuvers in front of millions, and now, author of The Flip Side: How to Invert Your Perspective and Turn Fear into Your Superpower. Mace knows better than anyone that courage and confidence don’t just magically appear. They’re built, brick by brick, in moments that test your nerve—whether that’s hitting nine G’s at supersonic speed or simply raising your hand in a room full of skeptics. In this episode, she drops a masterclass on how to flip fear on its head, use it as fuel, and create unshakable boldness in your everyday life.

for 14 weeks siden10:21

10:21

Most leaders waste energy waiting—for better manning, more money, or a lighter mission. But what if that cavalry isn’t coming? In this episode, we dismantle the victim mindset and challenge leaders to stop blaming the terrain and start owning the path.

191. Sherpa Code Principle 3: Sherpas Own Their 1% of the Problem 9:27

for 16 weeks siden9:27

9:27

When things go wrong, it’s easy to blame the mountain, the mission, or the people around you. But great leaders know the real journey starts with owning their 1%—the sliver of the problem they can control. In this hard-hitting episode, we unpack the third principle of the Sherpa Code and challenge you to grow where it hurts most: within.…

This episode explores Principle 2 of the Sherpa Code: Let Your Values Chart the Course. We reveal the hidden cost of chasing success without defined values—and how that drift impacts your peace, presence, and purpose.

189. Sherpa Code Principle 1: You have a Responsibility to be the Healthiest, Most Productive Person on the Mountain. 15:38

for 18 weeks siden15:38

15:38

You can't pour from an empty cup—and you definitely can't lead from one. In this gut-check episode, we unpack the first principle of the Sherpa Code: owning your responsibility to be the healthiest person on your team. Mental, physical, emotional, and even financial health aren't indulgences; they're leadership non-negotiables. It's time to shift from reactionary firefighting to intentional rhythm-building. Team Conversation Prompts: Where in your life are you just “getting through” instead of leading with margin? Ask a teammate or family member: Where do you think I’m giving too much and asking too little? What part of your daily rhythm feels most reactionary—and what would it take to regain control?…

188. Climb With Purpose: Introduction to the Sherpa Code 11:25

for 23 weeks siden11:25

11:25

Core values are essential—but too often, they don’t show us how to actually lead people, develop ourselves, or build high-performing teams. In this kickoff to our 14-part Sherpa Code series, we dive into why military values are necessary but incomplete, and why every leader needs a clearly defined code to climb with others. This episode lays the foundation for the principles ahead—and invites you to stop climbing alone. Team Conversation Prompts: What are the unofficial values of your team—and how are they showing up in behavior? What personal values do you lead with daily, and which are aspirational? Have you ever been part of a team that had values but no code ? What happened?…

187. Leading Without Stripes: Influence When Authority Fades 10:39

for 24 weeks siden10:39

10:39

As you rise through the ranks, leadership stops being about authority and starts being about influence. From tough personalities to volunteer teams with no obligation to follow, the true test of your leadership is who listens when they don’t have to. In this episode, we explore how to build influence early—and why it's one of the most critical skills you’ll ever master. Team Conversation Prompts: Who on your team challenges your influence the most—and how might you intentionally grow from that tension? What volunteer or cross-functional group can you lead right now to practice influence without authority? Think of someone you find hard to work with. How would you lead them if they were a key stakeholder in your future mission?…
