In this episode, Ian sits down with Dr. Kevin Mays to explore why leadership breakdowns often start beneath the surface, inside the hidden patterns, assumptions, and emotional defaults that shape how we lead.
Kevin explains his framework for self-leadership, including the difference between the “robot brain,” presence, awareness, intention, and vision.
They unpack how these internal patterns affect delegation, performance, culture, and business growth, and why many founders hit a ceiling when they fail to evolve their leadership alongside their company.
This is a deep conversation on how to lead yourself first so you can lead others more effectively.
