Summary
In this episode, I talk with Tucker about leadership, growth, and the uncomfortable conversations that help us evolve. We explore the role ego plays in staying stuck, why what worked in the past isn’t always what moves us forward, and how confidence is built through action—not certainty. Tucker shares her shift from a control-driven, risk-focused leadership style to a more collaborative approach, along with practical insights from her book The First Four Words on how to start conversations you’ve been avoiding without overthinking them. This conversation is a powerful reminder that growth requires curiosity, humility, and the courage to speak up.
