Leadership Means Being Intentional, Not Just Managing What Happens - E16

Dusty goes solo to tackle one of the biggest myths in leadership—that the best moments happen in the heat of a crisis. Through a vivid story from Disney World, where a cast member turned a spilled bag of popcorn into a lifelong memory, he reveals how true impact is rarely accidental. It’s built long before the moment arrives, through intentional choices, clear priorities, and simple systems that make great decisions automatic. Dusty shares how carving out weekly white space for reflection and planning—reviewing wins, identifying distractions, and setting key outcomes—can transform reactive chaos into purposeful progress. This episode is a challenge to stop winging it, start deciding in advance what matters most, and lead with the kind of clarity that turns everyday opportunities into defining moments.
