Ep.056: Hero in Your Own Story

Everyone is the hero of their own story. The problem is when you start trying to be the hero of everyone else's too.

This episode digs into one of the most honest leadership challenges there is: self-focus. Not the obvious kind, but the quiet kind that shows up in meetings, in who gets the credit, and in whether your team feels free to bring their best ideas to the table or shrinks to make room for yours.

Benji and Brady break down the self-focused leader problem: making every meeting about your opinion, measuring outcomes by your reputation, and turning every team win into a personal highlight reel. They walk through ten signs you may have drifted toward self-focus, and twelve practical ways to rebuild around others-focused leadership.

The line that sticks: if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. You can't scale around yourself. But when you pour into others and let them build their own story, the compounding effect is how teams actually grow.

We close with three reflection questions worth sitting with: whose story have you been trying to be the hero of this week, where has self-focus been leaking into your leadership, and what would change if you took yourself out of the center?
