Everything rises and falls on leadership, and the only way to be a great leader is by intentionally becoming one. // Podcast hosted by: Homer Hargrove
In this episode of Heart & Hustle, Homer explores why growth isn’t linear and how misreading numbers, results, or seasons can lead to unnecessary discouragement and imposter syndrome. Whether you’re leading a business, a church, a team, or your own personal growth journey, learning how to interpret progress correctly is essential for staying grounded and healthy.
Using real leadership examples, Homer explains the difference between normal rhythms and warning patterns—why some fluctuations are simply seasonal, while others point to deeper structural or cultural issues that require responsibility and change. This episode offers a balanced perspective on optimism, accountability, and wisdom, helping leaders avoid both self-blame and denial.
If you’ve ever questioned yourself during a slow season or felt pressure to explain every dip as failure, this conversation will help you regain clarity and confidence without losing humility.
