About this episode
Patrick Booth shares a candid story from a family trip that highlights leadership lessons learned in challenging situations.
Leadership lessons don’t always come from boardrooms, P&L meetings, or strategy sessions—sometimes they show up in rental cars, airport lines, and moments where everything feels like it’s falling apart. In this episode, Patrick Booth shares a candid, funny, and humbling story from a family trip to Costa Rica that quickly turned into a real‑time leadership test. From navigating stressful roads to standing in broken airport systems, Patrick reflects on how unmanaged stress, passivity, and emotional decision‑making impacted the people closest to him—and what leaders can learn from it. This episode is honest, relatable, and deeply practical for leaders at work and at home. It’s a reminder that leadership is always on display—and that growth often happens when humility meets grace.
