Episode notes

Is your "inner critic" holding your leadership back? Simone Knego joins Josh to reveal how a grueling trek up Africa's highest peak taught her more about leadership than any boardroom ever could. Together, they break down the REAL Method-a life-changing approach to self-respect, failure, and living without limits. Simone challenges the "trophy generation" mindset and explains why we need to start celebrating the "red" (failures) to find the "green" (growth). From managing a household of six to speaking on international stages, Simone provides tactical advice on how to stop "just-ing" your life and start owning your power. In this episode, you'll learn: The REAL Method: A deep dive into Respect Yourself, Embrace Failure, Ask for What You Want, and Live Without Limits. Control-Alt-Delete: A simple mindset hack to unfreeze your brain when you're stuck in a negative comparison spiral. The "Just" Trap: Why removing one small word from your vocabulary can instantly amplify your professional authority. Celebrating the Red: Why successful leaders (and parents) should treat failure as a necessary "tuition" for growth.
