Influence is not a title, a tactic, or a talent reserved for a select few. It is the daily choice to lead yourself well, care deeply, and create the kind of trust people actually want to follow. Chad breaks down the five foundations of influence every leader can start practicing today: integrity, empowerment, ownership, listening, and a positive attitude. With his signature directness and practical wisdom, Chad reminds us that leadership is a long game, and the real work starts with what we can control. From writing thank-you notes to preventing fires instead of fighting them, this episode challenges people-first leaders to stop chasing results alone and start building the influence that makes sustainable growth possible.
