| 5/25/26 | ![]() Why Employees Don't Trust Leaders Anymore — Toxic Bosses, Servant Leadership & the Jesus Model | Your employees don't trust you. Not you personally — leadership in general. And most leaders have no idea how deep that distrust runs or what it actually takes to fix it. In this episode of The Self Aware Leader, Jason Rigby breaks down the employee trust crisis happening in 2026 — why your team walks in the door already suspicious, what toxic leadership looks like from the inside, and why servant leadership is the only real answer to a generation that has been let down by every authority figure in their lives. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Gen Z and younger employees distrust authority before you've done anything wrong The difference between toxic leadership that relies on title and servant leadership that earns trust through genuine investment Why Jesus is the most relevant leadership model for 2026 — not for religious reasons, but because he operated in the exact same environment of corrupt authority and institutional failure that your employees grew up watching The three specific things servant leaders do that toxic bosses never will Why "not being a bad boss" is not the same as being a good leader What it actually looks like to invest in your people — and why the ROI follows genuine care, not the other way around If this episode hit you, two things: Subscribe so you don't miss the next one — new episodes every week on leadership, self-awareness, and the real stuff underneath the surface Leave a review on Apple Podcasts — it takes 60 seconds and it's the single biggest way to help this show reach more leaders who need it Go deeper every week: Jason writes about leadership psychology, self-awareness, and the inner work of leading at jasonrigby.substack.com — free to subscribe.

| 5/9/26 | ![]() Your Higher Self Isn't a Goal. It's a Direction. | You've already met the version of yourself you're trying to become. The conversation where you stopped managing yourself and just told the truth. The decision that cost you something but felt clean all the way down. The morning where nobody needed anything from you and for an hour you were completely, unmistakably yourself. That wasn't a fluke. That was the signal. In this episode, Jason digs into one of the most misunderstood concepts in personal development — the higher self — and strips away the woo-woo to get to what it actually means and how to practically use it. What you'll hear: What ten thousand years of spiritual tradition — from Sufi mystics to Egyptian priests to medieval Christian mystics — actually agree on about the higher self (and why it changes everything about how you approach growth) The real reason the best version of you feels buried — and why it has nothing to do with effort or information A four-domain self-assessment that forces honesty without the spiral (and why there are no 7s allowed) Four questions that cut through the performance and point you back toward yourself The one ten-minute practice that every tradition and every piece of behavioral research points toward — and why most people never actually do it The line from this episode: "The higher self is not a destination. It's a direction. You orient toward it one honest moment at a time." Timestamps: 0:00 — The signal you've already had 1:30 — What ten thousand years of tradition agree on 3:45 — Meister Eckhart, the Gospel of Thomas, and the Sufi mirror 6:00 — Meet Sarah — and the armor we all built 8:00 — The four-domain assessment (no 7s) 12:30 — Four questions that cut through 15:30 — The ten-minute practice 17:30 — The close Resources mentioned: The quiz: selfawarepodcast.com/quiz — "What's Running You?"

| 9/29/25 | ![]() The Leadership Skills AI Can't Replace with Angie Lyon | Leadership isn't about being right—it's about being real. Angie Lyon, Chief Soul Officer at Black River Performance Management and host of the Leader U Podcast, went from high-stakes operating rooms to transforming leadership teams. In this raw conversation, she reveals why 87% of leaders struggle with imposter syndrome and what to do about it. What You'll Learn: Transitional Intelligence (TQ) - The critical skill that helps leaders navigate change with intention instead of chaos, and why it's different from emotional intelligence The root cause of leadership struggles - Why most challenges trace back to feeling "not enough" or "not safe," and how to break free from these limiting beliefs Creating micro-cultures of excellence - How one self-aware leader can build a thriving team even inside toxic organizations AI-proof leadership skills - The human capabilities (empathy, communication, self-awareness) that will make you irreplaceable in an AI-driven world The unlearning paradox - Why authentic leadership requires shedding the habits that got you here From proving to improving - How to shift from external validation to internal growth and confidence Key Insights: Angie shares her journey from surgical technologist to leadership expert, revealing what she learned watching leaders in life-or-death situations. "One good leader can create a culture where people thrive," she explains. "But leaders stuck in fear mode create environments where people make more mistakes." She introduces the concept of Transitional Intelligence—your ability to move through change without losing yourself. While Emotional Intelligence helps you feel your way through moments, Transitional Intelligence helps you move through them, especially in the messy middle of transition. The conversation gets real about vulnerability, ego, and the courage to ask: "Do I want to be right, or do I want this relationship?" Perfect for: Mid-to-senior level managers, entrepreneurs, executives, team leads, HR professionals, and anyone committed to becoming a more self-aware, resilient, and human-centric leader. About Angie Lyon: Angie is a certified surgical technologist turned leadership development expert, recognized as Woman of Influence in Entrepreneurship (2021).

| 9/18/25 | ![]() Why Willpower is a Lie: The 2,500-Year-Old Technique for Ultimate Self-Discipline with Jay Heinrichs | What if everything you've been taught about self-discipline is backwards? In this transformative episode, we sit down with Jay Heinrichs, New York Times bestselling author of "Thank You for Arguing" and "Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion," to uncover the ancient art that makes willpower obsolete. Jay shares his remarkable journey from debilitating hip pain and depression to running his age up a 2,800-foot mountain in under 58 minutes—not through brute force, but through Aristotle's revolutionary technique of self-persuasion. Discover how to treat your soul as an internal audience you need to convince, not overpower. We explore the psychology behind cognitive dissonance, the power of "kairos" moments when chaos becomes opportunity, and why ancient Greek warrior chants can rewire your brain for success. Key Topics: The "Soul vs Daily Self" concept that changes everything Why cognitive dissonance is your secret weapon for growth The Three C's framework: Caring, Craft, and Cause How to set "impossible" goals that transform your identity Ancient rhythmic techniques that bypass mental resistance The "vacation test" for discovering your authentic purpose This isn't another productivity hack—it's practical philosophy backed by 2,500 years of human wisdom and modern neuroscience. Perfect for leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone tired of fighting themselves instead of working with themselves. Jay Heinrichs has worked with clients from NASA to Southwest Airlines and is a master of classical rhetoric. His latest book, "Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion," reveals how ancient wisdom can solve modern problems.

| 9/6/25 | ![]() The Greatest Human Illusion That's Keeping You Stuck | The Illusion of Success: Why We Feel Unfulfilled Even When We Have It All What if your greatest achievement was a trap? What if the success you've worked your entire life to achieve left you feeling more miserable than when you started? This isn't a hypothetical question. It's the shocking reality for countless high-achievers, entrepreneurs, and leaders. It's the central theme of a powerful conversation I had with Keala Kanae, who went from $20,000 in debt and a life of numbing out to building a multi-million-dollar empire. But as he revealed, the real breakthrough wasn't about the money; it was about "unlearning the lies he'd been telling himself". This is a new perspective that will shatter everything you think you know about success, discipline, and leadership. Procrastination is Not a Flaw, It's Feedback We've all been told that procrastination, self-sabotage, and imposter syndrome are signs of a lack of discipline or a character flaw. But Keala offers a radically different view: these are not problems to overcome, but symptoms that serve as feedback. He explains that every human being has a set of unconscious values that governs their life. When our conscious goals are in conflict with these unconscious values, we experience these symptoms. The 11-year-old boy who plays video games until 2 a.m. is not undisciplined; he is highly disciplined in something he values. The mind's purpose is to help us fulfill what we perceive to be most valuable. Therefore, our procrastination isn't a sign that we're broken—it's a signal telling us when we're venturing away from what we truly value. The True Meaning of Your Bank Account and Calendar To understand our own values, we have to stop listening to the "noisy society" that tells us who we are supposed to be. Keala echoes the wisdom of business guru Peter Drucker, who said, "Tell me what you value, and I might believe you, but show me your bank account and your calendar, and I'll show you what you value". If you're a leader who says you value your family, but your calendar is packed with work and your energy is spent on business podcasts while your kids and spouse are at the bottom of your priority list, your life is perfectly demonstrating what you actually value. When we are pursuing things we truly value, we have inspiration—an internal, self-sustaining drive. When we're pursuing something low on our value list, we need motivation—an external force that is never self-sustaining. The Trap of the "Greatest Human Illusion" Keala believes the greatest human illusion is thinking we can have one side of life without the other. We are taught to label things as "good" or "bad". When we label something as "good," we're conscious of the benefits but unconscious of the drawbacks. When we label something as "bad," we're conscious of the drawbacks but unconscious of the benefits. The reality is that equanimity, or balance, is the language of the universe. Keala shares a powerful example: the Black Plague of the 14th century killed tens of millions, but a mutation that stemmed from its survivors made millions of people immune to the AIDS virus centuries later. Was the plague good or bad? "It was both," he says, because both sides exist. From Forgiveness to Gratitude This understanding is the key to true healing and fulfillment. We often hold onto resentment. The next step is forgiveness, which is better than resentment, but still comes from the perspective that "I'm right, you're wrong". The place beyond forgiveness is gratitude. It is the profound realization that "I see how this benefited me". When Keala went back and re-examined the traumatic memories of his childhood, he realized that the very arguments about money that caused him pain were what honed his communication skills and helped him become a great marketer. When you realize your greatest challenge was also your greatest gift, "what the fuck can stop you then?". Your Secret Weapon: Know Thyself, Lead Thyself This entire journey is about becoming an "authentic leader". Keala defines this as someone who "knows their calling and has the courage to answer the call". This requires shedding the personas and false beliefs we've inherited from a noisy world. Want to start this journey of profound self-discovery? Keala has a free self-assessment that will help you identify your actual, unconscious values. He calls it The Power Code.

| 6/29/25 | ![]() The Phoenix Leader: Turn Your Pain into Power & Inspire Unstoppable Teams | In this powerful episode of The Self-Aware Leader, Jason Rigby welcomes Ingrid Hu Dahl, author of "Sun Shining on the Morning Snow" and a renowned leadership coach. Ingrid bravely shares her raw story of navigating crushing racism and an identity crisis as a mixed-race "Hapa" child, growing up between white New Jersey suburbs and Taipei. This conversation delves into how her unique upbringing shaped her understanding of belonging and resilience, offering profound insights for self-aware leadership. Ingrid illuminates the critical need for leaders to cultivate self-awareness and curiosity, especially when addressing issues of diversity, inclusion, and unconscious bias in the workplace. She discusses how her parents' interracial love story defied societal norms, influencing her own boldness and commitment to authenticity. The episode provides practical frameworks for leaders to unlearn ingrained behaviors, foster truly inclusive environments, and lead with empathy and heart rather than fear or ego. Listeners will discover how embracing one's full story, vulnerabilities and all, is not only a path to personal healing but also a powerful foundation for building trust and inspiring innovation within teams. Ingrid's "Phoenix" metaphor for transformation and her grandmother's fierce, heart-driven leadership serve as guiding lights, encouraging every leader to live boldly, connect authentically, and create spaces where everyone feels they belong. Detailed Episode Overview Have you ever felt like an outsider, even in your own community? In this compelling episode, "The Self-Aware Leader" dives deep into the heart of identity and resilient leadership with special guest Ingrid Hu Dahl.
