What if the moments that shaped your life most didn’t come from books, degrees, or plans… but from the road beneath you, the wind against your chest, and the courage to keep going when things got uncomfortable?
In this intimate episode of Eros & Earth, I sit down with my dad, Duke Lambert - a longtime leadership coach, business mentor, and trusted guide to generations of young leaders (including me) - to explore the life lessons that shaped his approach to leadership, fatherhood, and living well.
This conversation weaves stories from his time as a professional motorcycle racer, the workplace, and family life into a deeper inquiry about awareness, intuition, integrity, and what it really means to lead from presence, rather than control. Duke shares the kind of wisdom you don’t get from theory - only from decades of paying attention, making mistakes, and choosing responsibility with heart.
