What does it really take to become the person you're capable of becoming?
In this conversation, Ryan Hawk shares the lessons he's learned from interviewing more than 700 world-class leaders, the habits that build lasting confidence, and why keeping promises to yourself is the foundation of consistency.
We also discuss the surprising letter that changed Ryan's life as a child, his years-long pursuit of Jim Collins, and the leadership lessons he's learned from his wife and family. If you're looking to grow as a leader, spouse, parent, or person, I think you'll find this conversation both challenging and encouraging.
