Leaders Lead the Podcast
Hey, this is Tony Taylor, I am the host of Leaders Lead the Podcast! I’m also a professional speaker and trainer focused on helping emerging leaders overcome their fear of public speaking. I’m excited that you've made the decision to share space with this community.
Ok let’s talk about the podcast.
Have you ever wondered, how is that person or company so great?
During our 45-minute show, we get to the bottom of it! Leaders Lead was created out of curiosity. During the pandemic, I started reaching out to industry leaders that inspired me to be great. I had no idea that these conversations would turn into mentorship sessions and that the recordings would eventually become a top 5% global podcast.
During the first season, I discovered a similarity between all our amazing guests. The commonality was that they had all overcome odds that most would say were impossible. During the show, we take a journey down some of the saddest roads taken.
Yes, there are tears during the show, and many are from me. I really get in my feelings when I see someone break out of their struggle to go on and become great. There is no hack or secret. They just never gave up! I know our community needs to be inspired. Heck, I need to be inspired! This show will not only inspire you, but we give you a tangible guide to follow. I believe in the adage of turning your pain into someone else’s survival guide. I would love for you to become a part of my community. Please subscribe to the show, leave a review, and let us know how we can serve you.
We appreciate you!

Who is Ashley Fedan beyond the campaign?
In this episode of On The Record, I sit down with Ashley Fedan, candidate for Washington State Representative in the 11th Legislative District, for a long-form conversation about the experiences that shaped her life, her leadership, and why she's running for office.
Ashley shares what it was like growing up in West Virginia's coal mining country, serving in the U.S. Navy, and spending her career as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. We discuss how those experiences influenced her views on healthcare, housing, education, public safety, workers' rights, foster care, homelessness, and public service.
My goal with On The Record™ is simple: to give voters the opportunity to hear directly from candidates in a respectful, long-form conversation that goes beyond campaign ads, headlines, and social media clips. Every candidate is invited to share their story, explain what they believe, and help voters make informed decisions.
Whether you agree with Ashley, disagree with her, or are still undecided, I hope this conversation helps you better understand the person behind the campaign.

On the Record™: Running for Thurston County Sheriff | Kevin Burton-Crow
Choosing a sheriff means deciding who will be trusted with protecting the public, leading law-enforcement professionals, safeguarding constitutional rights, and responding during some of the most difficult moments in people’s lives.
I created On the Record™ because I believe those decisions deserve more than campaign advertisements, social media posts, political arguments, or carefully rehearsed talking points. I want candidates to have the time and space to explain their experience, priorities, leadership style, and plans directly to the voters they hope to serve.
In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Burton-Crow, a candidate for Thurston County Sheriff.
Kevin shares his experience serving 20 years in the United States Army and his work with the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office, which began when he volunteered as a reserve deputy in 2014. We also discuss his current work as a Special Victims Detective, his education in criminal justice and public administration, and the experiences that shaped his service-centered approach to leadership.
Our conversation covers constitutional protections, interactions between local law enforcement and federal agencies, transparency, accreditation, training standards, recruitment and retention, conditions at the county jail, community policing, and support for vulnerable members of our community.
Kevin also explains his “trust but verify” approach, his support for publishing measurable information about the Sheriff’s Office, and his belief that the agency should be built around strong systems that continue beyond any individual sheriff.
Every candidate on the ballot for Thurston County Sheriff has been offered the same opportunity to participate in On the Record™.
My mission is not to tell you who to vote for. My mission is to give you the information you need to make an informed decision for yourself.

We created On the Record™ to give voters the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates asking for their vote.Too often, we are asked to make important decisions based on campaign ads, mailers, headlines, and short soundbites.

For most of my life, I didn’t realize I was dealing with body dysmorphia.
I thought it was....comparison, overthinking, insecurity, and constantly feeling like I needed to fix myself. In this episode, I talk about where it started for me, how the Marines amplified it, and some of the things that genuinely helped me work through it over the years. This was not an easy episode to record because men don’t really talk about this stuff openly.
But I know a lot of people carry this quietly.
We talk about:
- comparison
- perfectionism
- emotional suppression
- never feeling “good enough”
- meditation
- therapy
- journaling
- awareness
- and learning how to stop attacking yourself mentally
One thing I’ve learned:
Just because the voice in your head says something about you doesn’t make it true.

Self-worth isn’t something I learned from a book.
I learned it in the absence of someone who was supposed to be there. In this solo episode, I share a moment from my childhood that shaped how I saw myself for years… and how that belief followed me into my relationships, my work, and how I showed up in the world.
Fam, This isn’t a perfect story or a “here’s how I fixed everything” conversation. It’s my truth.
We talk about:
- what it feels like to not feel chosen
- how that belief shows up later in life
- overextending, people-pleasing, and staying too long
- the shift from proving your worth to understanding it
If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn being chosen… this episode is for you.
- Not feeling chosen early in life can shape how you see yourself
- Overgiving is often rooted in trying to earn love or validation
- Just because you feel something doesn’t mean it’s true
- Your worth isn’t based on how much you prove or give
- You don’t have to keep carrying beliefs that weren’t yours to begin with
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- The importance of support, community, and honest conversations
If this resonated with you, don’t keep it to yourself.

I’m dropping a new episode every Friday so when you wake up Saturday morning, it’s there for you.
This is a space for real conversations about what we’re actually going through.
I know a lot of you are carrying things you don’t talk about.
You don’t have to do it alone.
I’m putting together a monthly meditation and intention group. Nothing complicated. Just a place to check in, talk about what’s real, set an intention, and slow down.
If you need that, email info@tonytaylorinspires.com with MEDITATION in the subject line. I’ll send you the details.
I’m especially speaking to men with this. A lot of us are carrying more than we say.

I Turned 40… And Realized I’m Running Out of Time
For the first time in my life, I realized I probably have more years behind me than I do in front of me.
That changes how you look at everything.
In this solo episode, I’m not coming to you with answers. I’m coming to you with the questions I’ve been sitting with.
What am I doing with the time I have left?
Where am I still holding back?
And what does it actually mean to live in a way where nothing is left on the table?
We move through life like we have time. Like we can start later, say it later, fix it later.
But at some point… later starts running out.
If you’ve been feeling that pressure… if you know there’s more in you but you’ve been waiting…
This episode is for you.

In this episode, I share a personal update about the fight my family has been navigating and how it led me to step into advocacy in a deeper way. As a caregiver to a child with PANDAS PANS, I open up about the emotional weight, the challenges of navigating broken systems, and the moment I realized I could not stay silent any longer.
I talk about returning to school for counseling, supporting legislation for families like mine, and what it truly means to lead when the stakes are personal. This episode is about resilience, responsibility, and taking action when the system falls short.
If you are carrying stress, advocating for your family, or searching for purpose through hardship, this conversation will remind you that leadership often begins in the middle of the struggle.

If you freeze in the moment or say yes when you really want to say no, this episode gives you words you can use and a way to stand behind them.
You will learn why freezing is a trauma response, why pausing is the first move, and how to use one simple line to buy time: let me get back to you. Barb Nangle also breaks down the difference between a boundary and control so you can stop managing other people’s feelings and focus on your responsibility. You will hear scripts like that is not going to work for me and not at this time, plus how resentment can be your signal that it is time to set or shore up a boundary. You will leave with a grounded next step you can practice today.

I have watched estrangement hit like a full-body shock, not just a sad season.
I have felt that disbelief where it seems like I am in the twilight zone, replaying every conversation, asking what I did, and getting nothing but silence back. In this conversation, I sit with Nancy McCartney as she explains why estrangement feels so cruel, why rumination starts, and how walking on eggshells trains the nervous system to stay on high alert.
I keep coming back to one truth that changed how I move through this: awareness is the first act of liberation. You will leave with a clearer way to stop the loop and start moving again.

Feeling overwhelmed by physical, digital, or emotional clutter?
In this episode, my guest Barbara Hemphill breaks it down with a simple truth: clutter is postponed decisions.
Barbara shares how clutter isn’t just “stuff,” it can be a symptom of emotional, spiritual, and mental weight that keeps people stuck, especially after loss, fear, or grief.
She explains a practical decision-making approach that helps you sort what’s in front of you, build systems that last, and create a productive environment where you can actually breathe again.
If clutter stress is draining your energy at home or at work, you’ll walk away with a clear way to decide, start small, and build momentum in 90 days.

I have been so pissed that I stopped publishing the podcast for a minute because I did not trust my words to land with care.
I kept watching what I am seeing around immigration enforcement and the way people talk about human dignity like it is negotiable, and it showed up in my body.
I felt it in my sleep, in my anxiety, and in the way I moved through the day.
I could not stop seeing it, and every comment section pulled me into a back and forth that left my mind racing at night. It made me feel bad.
The lesson I received was that I can protect my mental health without shutting down by limiting intake, grounding my nervous system, and using my voice without debating, and you will get clear steps to do that.

If you have ever been blindsided by someone you trust, you know that betrayal isn't just a regular trauma. It is a psychological earthquake that shatters your identity and worldview. In this episode, Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the PBT Institute, breaks down her groundbreaking PhD research on Post-Betrayal Syndrome.
She reveals why betrayal causes unique physical symptoms like digestive issues and extreme fatigue and provides a predictable, 5 stage roadmap to move you from survival mode into a completely transformed version of yourself.
- [05:41] Why Betrayal is a Unique Trauma: Dr. Debi explains why betrayal differs from other traumas because it forces you to question your ability to trust and trashes your sense of belonging and worthiness.
- [09:38] Defining Post-Betrayal Syndrome: A look at the collection of physical, mental, and emotional symptoms including hypervigilance and low energy that affect those who haven't fully healed.
- [15:19] The 5 Predictable Stages of Healing: Introducing the evidence based roadmap that takes you from the initial shock to the rebirth of a new worldview.
- [19:56] The Stage 3 Trap: Why most people stay stuck for decades in survival mode because it feels safe, often leading to numbing behaviors like emotional eating or overworking.
- [39:19] Rebuilding the Brick Wall of Trust: A powerful analogy explaining that trust must be rebuilt brick by brick by the person who broke it, while the betrayed person's only job is to observe.
About Dr. Debi Silber:Dr. Debi Silber is the Founder and CEO of The PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and National Forgiveness Day. She is a 2-time #1 International bestselling author and has been featured on FOX, CBS, and The Dr. Oz Show.
Her PhD study revolutionized the understanding of betrayal recovery by identifying the specific stages required for full transformation.

If you were just diagnosed with dyslexia and don’t know what it really means, this episode is for you.
We talk about how dyslexia is misunderstood, how it affects confidence, and what actually helps moving forward.
Full description:
A dyslexia diagnosis can bring relief, confusion, grief, and fear all at once. Many people are left wondering whether this explains years of self doubt, overworking, or feeling behind, and what it means for their future.
In this episode of Leaders Lead – Even When It Hurts, Tony Taylor sits down with Willie Blake to talk honestly about what dyslexia really is and what it is not. Willie shares what it was like growing up dyslexic, being misunderstood in school, and internalizing the belief that he was less capable than others.
Together, they unpack why dyslexia is often misread as laziness or inconsistency, how it impacts confidence and self trust, and why so many people develop coping strategies like people pleasing, overworking, or staying quiet. This conversation also explores how understanding your wiring can shift shame into clarity and help you move forward without trying to fix yourself.
This episode is not about motivation or pushing harder. It is about understanding dyslexia with compassion, rebuilding confidence from the inside out, and learning how to work with your brain instead of against it.
If you were just diagnosed, support someone with dyslexia, or quietly suspect this might apply to you, this conversation is a place to start.
Former Marine Susannah Rose Stokes joins me to talk about psychedelics, trauma, and healing.
We go deep into what actually happens when people use mushrooms or LSD for trauma recovery and how these experiences can rebuild your mind, body, and soul.
You’ll hear:
- What psychedelics do for emotional healing and self-awareness
- The importance of set and setting before any psychedelic experience
- How to integrate after a journey so the healing actually sticks
- Who psychedelics can help — and who shouldn’t take them
- Why leading with love creates real transformation
If you’re curious about psychedelic therapy, mushrooms for trauma, or healing through consciousness, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I share how I used podcasting to face my fear of public speaking and how each rep behind the mic helped me find my voice again. From my first nervous recordings in a closet to lessons learned through hundreds of interviews, this one’s about courage, repetition, and learning to breathe through the fear.
You’ll learn:
- How to reframe stage fright as energy, not failure
- Why repetition builds rhythm and confidence
- The power of hearing your own voice
- Simple tools like box breathing and grounding to calm your nerves
- Why courage is built in reps, not in perfection
Takeaway:
You don’t have to be fearless to be heard. Every time you face the mic, you shrink the fear.

Mills shared how a major business struggle became the turning point that led him to his purpose — helping individuals and leaders shift their perspective and create real, lasting change.

- How to reframe failure into fuel
- Why alignment often beats hustle
- How to lead your team (and yourself) with more clarity

This episode is a raw reflection on anxiety, visibility, and what we lose when we chase success without slowing down.
Recorded in the car on a rainy Sunday morning, Please forgive me, the quality is not that good.
I talk about the quiet anxiety I’ve carried since childhood.... the kind that shows up before Monday hits, when you’re grinding hard but still feel invisible.
I share stories I’ve never said out loud, about fear, burnout, and the moment I looked through the glass door of my office and realized… I missed my wife.
Takeaways:
- Why anxiety often shows up when we’re finally alone with our thoughts .... especially on Sundays
- How early fears of being seen shaped my silence (and how that silence cost me connection)
- What high-achievers miss when they stay too focused on the goal
- A reminder that you can be visible in the world and still disconnected at home and how to change that
- Why being heard isn’t just about speaking louder, but learning to feel safe enough to be seen
If you’ve been feeling stretched, unseen, or like you're building something at the cost of your own peace , this one’s for you.

We talked about everything from the truth behind Napoleon Hill to why you don’t need an office, a big team, or even a website to become a go-to authority.
Alan drops game on what it really takes to become a Million Dollar Consultant.
We get into:
- Why overhead is the enemy of freedom
- How to raise your fees without flinching

How Bad Do You Really Want It?
A lot of people say they want success. They want the million-dollar business, the dream career, the freedom. But when you start asking questions—What’s your plan? What’s your work ethic? Are you putting in the time?—things start to fall apart.
I’ve been there.
I used to listen to Eric Thomas talking about how you have to want success as bad as you want to breathe. That hit me hard—because when I was struggling with depression, I wanted to get better more than anything. I set an intention. I committed to the process. Meditation saved me.
And now, I think about that same level of commitment when it comes to business, personal growth, and every goal I set.
So I’ll ask you: How bad do you really want it?
✅ Are you setting intentions—or just hoping it happens?
✅ Are you treating it like a hobby or something you can’t live without?
✅ Do you want it as bad as you want to breathe?
This is exactly what I talk about in my latest podcast episode. If you’ve ever struggled with motivation, consistency, or pushing past obstacles—this one is for you.
🎧 Listen now!
And if you’re serious about building your own platform—one that actually helps you grow and make an impact—I’m teaching experts, entrepreneurs, and coaches how to do just that.

This episode is personal.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt everything—other people’s pain, frustration, and sadness. If someone around me was struggling, I carried that weight too. I thought it was just part of being a good person, a good leader. But at some point, I realized… too much empathy can actually hold you back.
Recently, my daughter asked me a simple question that forced me to reflect: What are you proud of? Her follow-up question made me take an even deeper look at myself, my leadership, and how I handle emotions.
In this episode, I open up about:
- How extreme empathy has affected my leadership, decision-making, and personal growth
- Why we struggle to accept compliments and recognize our own worth
- How I’ve been learning to set emotional boundaries while still leading with heart
- The challenges of entrepreneurship, mental health, and personal struggles I rarely talk about
I know I’m not alone in this. If you’ve ever felt emotionally drained, struggled with setting boundaries, or taken on too much from others, I hope this episode helps you see that you’re not alone—and that it’s okay to take care of yourself too.

From NFL Dreams to Identity Shift: Embracing Resilience and Transforming Lives
In this captivating episode, that was recorded all the way back in 2021 we have the privilege of sitting down with Anthony Trucks, a former NFL player whose life journey is a testament to the resilience and the power of identity transformation. Despite facing setbacks and challenges, Anthony's story is an inspiration for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by life's obstacles.
At the peak of his NFL aspirations, a fluke shoulder injury abruptly ended Anthony's professional football dreams. Within a short period, he went from envisioning a bright future in the NFL to becoming a personal trainer at a local gym, all to support his family. However, he recognized this setback as another opportunity to change his life, just as he had done during his challenging childhood.
With a degree in kinesiology, Anthony took a bold leap and opened his own gym. The journey of entrepreneurship, however, was filled with ups and downs, and he experienced the devastating loss of his business and nearly went bankrupt. This period of struggle took a toll on his personal life, as his marriage faltered, his children missed him, and he felt broken and alone.
But a pivotal conversation with a close friend shifted Anthony's perspective. He realized that he had the power to be an inspiration and make a positive impact on others' lives. Determined to give back and help people overcome their own challenges, he delved into the realm of peak performance coaching. However, despite his efforts, success seemed elusive, leaving him wondering, "Why not me?"
It was in that moment that Anthony recognized the missing piece: the alignment between his identity and his desired outcomes. He embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery and deep psychological rewiring. Years of research, practice, and dedication enabled him to reprogram his mindset from the inside out, ultimately becoming a "shift-making" machine.
Anthony's personal transformation not only propelled him to success in his career but also helped him repair his marriage, become the father he aspired to be, and achieve balance in all aspects of life. Through becoming a speaker and best-selling author, he found his purpose in sharing the knowledge he gained over 30+ years of personal growth and transformation.
Join us as we delve into Anthony Trucks' profound insights and learnings, as he guides us through the process of an identity shift that can unlock the life we truly deserve. Whether you are feeling stuck, uninspired, or hopeless, Anthony's relatable experiences and practical wisdom will empower you to make lasting changes.

So many emerging entrepreneurs spend time begging their family and friends to support their businesses. I believe the term is Wantrepreneurs. I was one of them! Before I became enlightened I thought a brand was just a cool logo and some colors.
Nope! A brand is so much more. Branding is the essence of who we truly are. That essence then bleeds over into your everyday life including your company. During this episode, I speak with my friend Steph Hilfer from Viim. Viim is a premier branding agency in Black Diamond, WA.

Ray Leonard Jr needs no introduction. Speaking with him was such an amazing experience. I learned so much from Ray Jr. I'm very grateful to him for taking the time to speak to our community.
I will never forget seeing him with his dad, hall of fame boxer Sugar Ray Leonard in the1970s popular 7 Up commercial. As a kid, I remember saying, "look at that dude he has it made."
It had nothing to do with who his dad was but more of the fact that he had a dad in his life. Being a black male growing up where I'm from almost none of my friends had their dad in their lives.
During our discussion, Ray discussed his amazing childhood where he had been in rooms where history was being made. Ray also talked about some of the many death threats that his family encountered. I loved learning about how his family went from being poor to one of the most powerful families in the world.
Ray Leonard Jr, now all-grown-up is a former two-sport division one collegiate athlete and former sports agent for some of the biggest names in sports credit his father’s talk with him about opportunities.
Ray says, "I’ve always remembered the words from my father that remain with me today". He would say, "within our dreams and aspirations, we find our opportunities."
Ray Jr. is a legend in his own right! He is a powerful speaker and straight-up boss!!
He is passionate about instilling the virtues of leadership, discipline, awareness, and control, Ray is a sought-after speaker who has traveled extensively, giving talks to various businesses, organizations, and the military.
The Maryland native resides in California and is a graduate of Ohio University with a BS in Sports Management and a BA in Business Administration.
Check out his amazing episode!
I had a secret for a very long time. It wasn’t until a few years ago I started telling people about my private shame. I was terrified of speaking in front of people. It physically bothered me.
I had huge reactions. I would start sweating and pray that someone turned on the fire alarm.
The truth is, I probably would have left the building and never came back. I wish I would have known what I know now. I now know that if I would have first accepted my pain, I would have been closer to living my purpose.
Fast forward to now. I started using the voice that I have been blessed with to help others. I have privately helped other professionals master their fear of public speaking by guiding them through the same steps I took but in a much shorter time frame. I would love to help you. This is personal!
My passion is helping people run out of their misery and right into their purpose. More than ever, the world needs to hear your voice! I talk about the things I care about and let me tell you the rewards are endless.
Send me a message, I would love to help you!
Check out this episode of Leaders Lead where I dive into simple strategies that helped me along the way. Let me know if you have questions..
I’m excited to welcome you to join in on a conversation with my friend & best-selling author, Walter McKinley. We talked about his childhood, prior military service, and the amazing things he is doing now.
Walter is making a difference in the lives of others that are going through the pain he endured. Walter was abused as a child. He moved 14 times in 16 years and suffered tortuous abuse at the hands of every adult he came into contact with.
Walt says," your history does not define your legacy."
Life was hard for Walter but he refused to give up!
In tears, at the age of 16, he sat on the witness stand testifying against his father which was one of the many abusers that stole his childhood. Walt McKinley found the strength to fight for himself for the first time. In that life-changing moment, he made a promise to himself.
He promised he would do whatever it took to become a warrior of his abuse and break the generational cycle forever.
During our one-hour conversation, sh*t got real! It was extremely hard to hold back the tears. His bravery moved me. I cannot believe he was able to push through so much adversity. Walt is a warrior!
He is a retired Naval Intelligence Officer and former Fortune 500 Corporate Executive who's told his story in front of large crowds for over 25 years. His empowering and people-first leadership approach built high-performing organizations that achieved record results around the world.
Walter says, “We are in challenging times and need strong voices who can teach people to unlock their full potential using real experiences.”
Walt uses his journey of extreme trauma, fourteen childhood moves, homelessness, and attempted teen suicide, culminating with testifying in court against his father at 16.
His comeback story reminds us that life is limitless.
This conversation is powerful and life-changing!
Enjoy.

This audio is from a live stream that I conducted on Linkedin sometime in August. I woke up and needed to get in some reps. In case you didn’t know, I had a fear of speaking in public. I have since mastered my fear. Going live was one of the methods that helped me get comfortable with delivering my message. During the stream, I discussed looking at Mondays as opportunities instead of hardships.
If you’re doing what you love then you’re obsessed with the work. At least I know I’m obsessed with my work. I love serving.
I also talked about my upcoming interview with Anthony Trucks. Anthony is a well-known international speaker and coach. I still have not released his segment. It was so good! I have not posted this interview to the podcast.
I feel bad because I’ve been holding on to some very resourceful information. I believe that Anthony is teaching some tools that would be very beneficial regarding making some much-needed changes in your life. He is a phenomenal teacher. Make sure you subscribe so that you can be notified as soon as his episode drops.
Also, I have not made this public but I am now helping other people overcome their fears of public speaking. This experience is like non-other. If you want help with overcoming your fear please feel free to reach out to me by following this link. Sign up and I will personally reach out to you

Do you suffer from not being liked by everyone? I've always battled this issue but due to life's circumstances, I discovered that I needed to love myself first. I still have this issue but by doing the work the pain fades away. Check out this bonus episode and let me know your thoughts.
His stories from the battlefield are sobering. His service is honorable.
In a very short time, Jake has become one of my favorite people. I am impressed by his leadership. During our time together in DC, I noticed Jake was keen on a particular trait. Jake is a servant through and through. When he is not training our future leaders to withstand attacks at schools, he volunteers his time by giving to the brothers and sisters that have served in the Armed forces of the United States of America. Jake is the real deal!
Jake started his professional career in 2003 as a Combat Engineer in the United States Marine Corps. He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), and more specifically Operation Phantom Fury (Second Battle of Fallujah) in 2004 with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines. He served with the 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines in 2005 during OIF. He was honorably discharged as a Sergeant from the Marine Corps Reserves in 2009. In 2010, Jake was hired as a Contingency Skills Instructor to help support requirements for military troops deploying to hostile/austere environments. In 2012, he transitioned to another training command and within one year rose to the ranks of Assistant Chief Instructor (filling an O-3 billet). There his training supported military advisors deploying to over 140 countries. The main course he supported was a rigorous six-week course that helped military advisors prepare for the challenges of language, region, culture, and field-craft skills needed to thrive in uncertain and hostile environments with limited support. Also, he was the lead instructor for active shooter/insider threat training for armed and unarmed deploying students. This was a vital position due to the green-on-blue threat with our host nation allies.

I HOPE THIS HELPS!
This week’s podcast segment does not feature any of my amazing guests. It’s just me. Can I be real with you? I'm going to assume you said yes.
I create content so that others can benefit from the lessons that I have learned throughout life.
“Your pain can be someone else’s blueprint.”
If you've been following my journey you know some of the things that I've overcome.
If you're new to my feed here is a shortlist.
- I grew up without a dad in my life but vowed to be the best dad on the planet.
- I had low self-esteem but always put myself into situations where I had no choice but to succeed.
- I conquered my fear of public speaking by raising my hand and speaking.
- I conquered my fear of driving on the highway by saying, "I love driving on the highway", over and over for 20 hours while driving from my first Marine Corps duty station back home
- I was homeless at one point but I believe it was one of the best things to ever happen to me.
- I was a divorced single dad but then met the love of my life, Jenny.
- I accomplished my goal of reaching the top position in my career field only to quit after having a quiet meltdown in my office. I'm so grateful that my wife believed in me enough to tell me to pack up, come home and so that we can start walking towards your purpose.
A very critical step in gaining the strength needed to endure your current situation is to think about the trials and tribulations you've previously conquered.
Celebrate your wins and learn from your losses. I've learned a lot these past few years.
I don’t care who you are, if you're ambitious you’re going to get weary. There will be obstacles but it's up to you to manifest a positive outcome and work towards turning those obstacles into opportunities.
Some of the people that I love the most have been going through some tough times. Sometimes It weighs on me. I would love nothing more than for the people in my life to live in complete joy. It hurts when my people are hurting. Last week I became weary and needed a pick me up.
Nothing I read, watched, or heard was working. I went through my phone and downloaded some of my old recordings. I got really inspired and decided that it was time for me to start publicly unpacking some of the mountains I have climbed. I have overcome some serious odds and vow to continue to help others do the same by using this medium. If you're not a subscriber please subscribe now. I would love to be a part of your community.
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to catch up with legend Dr. Rob Bell. Dr. Bell has worked with champions at all levels. He is a Mental Toughness specialist. Dr. Rob focuses on developing and strengthening the human response to adversity. We all go through adversity, right? The true question is, what do you do after you have been smacked in the face by adversity? Ask yourself how many times have you quit when you
didn’t think you would win? Every time we quit; we make quitting that much easier. Rob says, "The catalyst of mental toughness is never giving up."
Rob has consulted some of the top athletes and executives in the country. He’s not just one of those docs that study the science, he lives it.
Rob was a college baseball star who had so much promise but then he fell off a cliff. I’m not trying to be cute here, Rob literally fell off a cliff fracturing many body parts, and then went to school the following week. He’s coined the phrase, Hinge Moments. Rob says, “every door has a hinge. When a door opens that is squeaky, we apply oil to the hinge, not the door.
Tragedies that happen in our lives are immediate hinge moments. Such as death, cancer, or significant injuries because from that moment on everything is different”. This pandemic has been a hinge moment.

It was such an honor meeting and sharing space with NFL Veteran Reggie Walker. It was surreal talking to someone that I once played on the popular video game series Madden.
I really love my job! I get to meet some cool people!
My biggest takeaway from everyone that I have met through Leaders Lead is that everyone is overcoming or has overcome adversity.
I love learning about how the industry leaders that have overcome their professional a personal obstacles.
Reggie is a former NFL linebacker. He was in the league for a total of 7 years. 7 years is a lifetime for most NFL players. Reggie has the heart of a lion and is the epitome of leadership.
I knew there was something special about this dude and I’m not talking about his killer ability to shut down an offense.
Reggie is a leader.
I believe that all true leaders have been through some sort of adversity. This is leadership.
Reggie’s adversity started long before he put on a pair of cleats.
He has been through some pretty traumatic experiences. Reggie is the survivor of sexual abuse, but his story does not stop there. Reggie uses his experiences to empower others. Reggie is an advocate for mental abuse and makes his impact by speaking, writing books, and teaching.
Welcome to Season 2, Episode 12, Healing with Reggie Walker and Tony Taylor

We met Rodney Burris through the CEO and founder of the Black Speaker Network Brian Olds. Brian said, "you have to talk to this guy!" He is special." Brian was right.. Rodney is special.
I learned so much from him during our time together. Rodney has been through some rough times but he is using his voice to help others. We connected on so many levels. I love learning from leaders like Rodney. I’m so grateful for his mentorship. When I asked Rodney, What was the biggest obstacle he has ever overcome? He said, "I was broken. My mindset, my will, my heart... I needed to be repaired, and I didn't even know it. It took some amazing events to turn my life around... And now, I've boiled down the lessons from those experiences, and shared them in every way conceivable with all who would listen!"
Mr. Burris was raised in the inner cities of Baltimore and Jacksonville, Rodney is the son of a hardworking single mother. Because his father often battled with substance abuse, the family spent time in a homeless shelter and endured poverty and domestic abuse. Despite this adversity, Rodney still earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from JohnsHopkins University and a master’s in Nonprofit Management from Capella University.
You’re in for a real treat. Please listen to this episode and let us know how this story has impacted your life.

I was shocked! Course creation is nothing I could have ever comprehended.

Last Veteran's day was really special! I'm talked to Navy Seal Bill Brown. Bill is such an inspiration! I became aware of him while reading one of my favorite books. The book was Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins.
Ok, I didn't exactly read the book but I listened to it 3 times on Audible. It's that good!
Have you ever read a book and just wanted to learn more about the co-characters plight? Bill is that guy. Bill was mentioned in the most iconic chapter of the book.
He has overcome some pretty tough odds to get to where he is today. Bill is now a very accomplished lawyer at McCarter & English in Newark.
I also remember seeing this dude go toe to toe with government officials on national TV wondering, "who is this dude"! I had no idea it was Bill Brown.
Bill Brown is the real deal!
I learned so much from hearing his story and I'm sure you will as well.
