029 - Leading with Heart: Mayor Freddie O'Connell on Vulnerability, Grace, and the Soul of Nashville
In this special episode of Vulnerability Muscle, host Reggie D. Ford sits down with Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell for a heart-centered conversation that goes far beyond politics. From the power of vulnerability in leadership to the importance of authentic community connection, Mayor O'Connell opens up about the emotional weight of public service, the challenges of navigating state and city tensions, and how he stays grounded in the midst of it all.
Reggie and Mayor O'Connell explore what it means to lead with compassion while facing the daily fires of executive decision-making. With reflections on family traditions, childhood memories, and his favorite Nashville gems (shoutout to Big Al's Deli), this conversation is a reminder that behind every title is a human being with a story, a heart, and a deep desire to serve.
You'll also hear insights about affordable housing, transit reform, and Nashville's future—and why slowing down and doing the small things well might be the most radical act of leadership.
