Going Pro in Your Leadership – Brad McDonald

In this episode of The Daily Leader, Brad McDonald unpacks what it means to go pro in your leadership. Drawing from Steven Pressfield's book Turning Pro, he discusses the difference between amateur and professional identity and the radical commitment required to leave behind excuses and self-sabotage. Whether with work, relationships, or personal growth, this conversation challenges listeners to go all in and fully commit to your calling. Resources mentioned: Turning Pro by Stephen Pressfield, Leadership and Self-Deception by The Arbinger Institute, The Three Laws of Performance by Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan, and The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan HolidayADDITIONAL RESOURCESLooking to transform your life and leadership?
