Episode #40 - Leading With Vulnerability
InfoSec to Insanity
1 hour 16 minutes
3 months ago
Episode #40 - Leading With Vulnerability
📅 Recorded Live on YouTube: July 17, 2025 • 8 PM CT
Based on: “Leading With Vulnerability” — Entry #10 of the Mental Health Without the Bullsht series (https://evanfrancen.com/2025/05/27/le...)

We’ve been sold a lie: that leaders must be bulletproof—always confident, always composed, never showing cracks. In this episode, Evan tears that mask off. He shares raw, real experiences about faking invincibility to keep going—and how that act nearly broke him.

We’ll unpack:
  • Why hiding mistakes and doubts builds fear, not trust
  • How admitting “I don’t know” or “I need help” is the real leadership flex
  • Practical vulnerability: owning mistakes, naming limits, and sharing struggling—on your terms
  • How this creates psychological safety and sparks courageous teams
What You’ll Get from This:
  • Unfiltered storytelling—Evan and Matt get real about the cracks and wear the tough-guy leadership caused
  • Leadership checklists—actionable ways to drop the performance and lead through authenticity
Drop the ego. Own the cracks. Let’s do leadership differently.
