The Illusion of Control: Leadership, Freedom & Letting Go - Forge Contractor Alliance Podcast
Welcome to the Forge Alliance Podcast — real talk for tradesmen, entrepreneurs, and leaders navigating the hard road of growth. We're building more than businesses — we’re building men, mindsets, and missions. These conversations pull back the curtain on what it takes to lead in life and work, from broken starts to breakthrough seasons. No fluff, just real stories from the job site and beyond.
Episode Summary: This Podcast, Josh and Kenton explore the complex relationship between control and freedom in both business and personal life. Prompted by feelings of vulnerability, the conversation unpacks how the desire for control can drive entrepreneurs—but also how it can hinder leadership, relationships, and well-being when taken too far. Together, they reflect on lessons from parenting, managing teams, and navigating change within a company.
Drawing on personal stories—from endurance sports to roofing safety protocols—they explore the balance between setting expectations and empowering others. The episode highlights the value of self-awareness, humility, and community support, and encourages listeners to focus energy on what they can influence, rather than what’s out of their hands.
