In this episode of the Northbound Podcast, Chris continues a conversation about popular leadership ideas that sound healthy but create long-term damage. Joined by Matt Hallock (author of DNA of a Man and founder of the Man Warrior King Project), they unpack why work is not family—and why treating it like it is often reveals something deeper: unmet emotional needs at home, unresolved tension in marriage, and leaders using work as an escape. You'll hear a practical framework for examining your "inner world," leading yourself first, resetting your home leadership, and leading teams with clarity and purpose—without asking the workplace to carry what only family and faith can. Bottom line: healthy teams aren't built on guilt and obligation.
