Kyle Sullivan is the founder of Unleash the Champ. With over 10 years of organizational leadership & team development within ministry leading thousands of people plus a growing desire to learn it all, he strives to inspire people everywhere to unlock the cages they are in to unleash the champ within. Kyle tells me about his organization and how he is able to help shape cultures. He tells me that culture is what you tell, teach, and tolerate.

We discuss the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Study and the statistics related to it. How do you approach leading a diverse team with the knowledge that many, if not all, of your team has experienced some form of trauma?

Kyle tells me how his wife taught him to be a better leader. We discuss the experiences of female leadership within the fire service compared to within the church. The fact that Kyle and I both have daughters allowed us to discuss how protecting our daughters from failure can be counter-productive and limiting their ability to develop healthy self-confidence.
