Leadership isn’t about the titles you collect or the recognition you earn. It’s about who you become and who you help along the way.
Jason Wetzler, leadership speaker, facilitator and advocate for people-first leadership, joins The Cultivating Leaders Podcast for a conversation about redefining success, building identity and prioritizing purpose. From childhood moments on stage to hard-earned lessons about career, family and fulfillment, Jason shares why real leadership is rooted in service, consistency and becoming the kind of person others trust and follow.
Jason opens up about:
- Redefining success: titles, status, and followers do not equal a fulfilled life.
- Identity before outcomes: focusing on who you are changes what you achieve
- Living with intention: small, daily habits that align your career, relationships and purpose
This episode will challenge you to examine where you’re investing your time and energy. It’s a reminder that leadership starts with a choice to show up, serve others and grow every day.
