## Resource

In this episode of Uncensored Renegades , Jon and Kory tackle something most people avoid: their own weaknesses. From brutally honest feedback from partners and teams to self-awareness and uncomfortable truths, they explore how to identify what you’re not good at and why that might be the most important step in growing as a leader. They also ask whether weaknesses are just overused strengths, and how traits like empathy or attention to detail can become liabilities if left unchecked. This is a candid, self-reflective conversation on turning your weaknesses into something you can actually use.
