#2: Victim, Villain, Hero or Guide — Which Role Are You Playing?
This choice defines your future. Every leader lives out four roles: victim, villain, hero, and guide.

Peterson unpacks Donald Miller’s Hero on a Mission framework and shows why your leadership story changes the moment you stop playing small. Through personal stories (including the time he auditioned for a Missy Elliott music video) and insights from leaders he’s worked with around the world, J.J. reveals how to step into a story of courage, growth, and impact.Here's what you'll take away:-Why living in the victim role keeps you stuck and powerless-How villains are created by unhealed pain — and why their story always collapses-The truth about heroes: they’re not fearless, they just keep going-Why the guide role creates the most meaningful life and lasting influence-How to recognize the role you’re playing right now and choose a better one📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube @BadassSoftie🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts🎧 Listen on SpotifyIt’s time to stop settling for either/or leadership — and start stepping fully into being ambitious, kind, powerful, and deeply human: a true Badass Softie. www.BadassSoftie.com
