The Real Cost of Becoming a Leader
In this episode of the MyCORE Podcast, I sit down with my friend Jason Richards to have the kind of conversation most leaders won’t touch. We talk addiction, grief, resilience, and what it really means to lead people when your own life has been cracked wide open.
Jason opens up about the loss that changed him, the therapy that helped him make sense of it, and the lessons he’s still learning about people, pain, and purpose. We dig into the realities of leading in an age where AI can write your emails, but can’t replace your heart. Where management is shifting from control to connection.
And where the most powerful thing you can bring to the table… is still your humanity.
This one’s for the founders who’ve walked through fire, the operators who’ve outgrown the hustle, and the leaders learning how to lead people, not just processes.
