  • 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫?
    Jul 1 2025

    🎙️ 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐃𝐄 𝟏𝟕𝟑: From Marine sniper to FBI agent… from pastor to executive coach… 𝐃𝐫. 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐰 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐧 has worn a lot of titles. But what he built along the way is far more powerful—what he calls Inner Armor.

    𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞-𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐮𝐩 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝.

    🔍 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞:

    ✅ What “inner armor” actually means—and why most leaders don’t have it

    ✅ The Two-Minute Rule that dismantles fear and excuses

    ✅ How a 300-year plan reframes your worst days

    ✅ Why your identity—not your résumé—determines your leadership


    💬 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐬...

    𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞’𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

    If fear, stress, or self-doubt keep creeping in...

    If you want to lead with clarity, conviction, and calm under fire, this one’s for you.

    In this powerful episode of 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭, I sit down with 𝐓𝐄𝐃𝐱 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐉𝐑 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐝 to unpack what’s really holding high performers back… and how YOU can flip the script starting today.

    𝐖𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨:

    ✅ The “Invisible 4” opponents every leader must face

    ✅ Why winning is a lifestyle (not just a result)

    ✅ How mind-heart-body alignment fuels peak leadership

    ✅ Simple shifts that can change how you show up—at work, in life, and at home

    If you’re a business leader, entrepreneur, executive—or someone chasing a bigger version of yourself—this conversation will hit home.
