## Resource

I love conversations that challenge the way we think about leadership and who we’re becoming. On this episode of Mature Me, I sit down with my friend @ryanleak, a husband and father of two, New York Times best selling author and speaker. We talk about the moments that shape you- from his surprise wedding that gained national attention to his connection to Kobe and practicing with the NBA. We talk what it looks like to actually process loss and how stillness before God becomes essential in seasons of pressure. Ryan shares the shift that changed everything. Moving from chasing success to chasing failure. Letting go of fear and stepping into rooms believing God has already gone before you. If your communication is about you, it’s ego. If it’s for others, it’s impact. Maturing is learning how to lay down the crown you were never meant to carry.
