Episode Description from the Publisher

High performers have a lot in common. We go hard. We fight for control. And sometimes, we're brutal to ourselves (and others.) Leading with love can sound too soft. But Joe Terry has proven it might be the secret to unlocking the next level of your life. Joe's stories from making it to the NFL to leading Culture Partners, co-authoring his first book, Surrender to Lead, and competing in Ironman World Championships serve as proof that you can achieve your biggest goals without letting your ego control you.
