The podcast for leaders who refuse to settle. If you believe you were created for more... more purpose, more growth, more impact, and more influence... then you've found your community. I'm Debbie Neal. For over two decades, I've had the privilege of building leaders around the world, and one thing I've learned is this... Your life will never consistently outperform your standards. Every week, we'll grow together through conversations that challenge your thinking, strengthen your faith, expand your vision, and equip you to become the leader God created you to be. This isn't just about personal development. It's about personal transformation. It's about raising the standard in every area of your life, your leadership, your relationships, your health, your business, your mindset, and your faith. Because when leaders grow, families grow. Businesses grow. Communities grow. And lives change. Thank you for pressing play. Thank you for investing in yourself. And thank you for choosing to lead. Now... Are you ready? Let's Level Up.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-20T16:17:13.359155+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/level-up-with-debbie-neal-1375972"},"episode":{"title":"The Hidden Cost of Not Leading","slug":"the-hidden-cost-of-not-leading","published_at":"2026-04-27T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/level-up-with-debbie-neal-1375972/the-hidden-cost-of-not-leading","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/level-up-with-debbie-neal-1375972","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/e53f3023","audio_url":"https://2.gum.fm/op3.dev/e/pdcn.co/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/e53f3023/5871c867.mp3","summary":"Hello Level Up family, this week is extra special, as I am so excited to announce the launch of my new book Level Up Your Leadership, which releases tomorrow, April 28th!
