MotivationMonday: The Best Leaders Take the Heat—Not Shift the Blame
Ever had a boss who threw you under the bus? Compare that to a leader who stands up for you—even when things go wrong. The difference? Trust, loyalty, and a culture where people perform at their best.

After catching their Charlotte show, I saw firsthand why their intense energy and raw authenticity are winning over metal fans everywhere.
I sat down with all five members to dig into their journey—the struggles, the breakthroughs, and the conviction behind their sound. They didn’t hold back.

🔥 Meet the heavy metal band carving their own path—Voices in Vain. 🔥
This Vermont-based band has been grinding for years, but their latest album (Fall 2024) and touring schedule have catapulted them into something bigger.

My first college hoops and NBA piece for Yardbarker dives into the historic opportunity for Davidson and Steph Curry. It’s more than just nostalgia and name recognition — I explored what this means for a small liberal arts school and others like it.

💥 Great leaders aren’t just born — they’re built through failure.
In Culture of Excellence, I explore how the Yankees once spiraled under George Steinbrenner’s chaotic leadership. Constant drama, power struggles, and bad trades turned the team into a mess.

No Title? No Problem. You Can Still Lead.
The best leaders don’t wait for a title—they step up when it matters. The Yankees thrived for years without an official captain because leadership was never about one person. It was about those who showed up, set the standard, and pushed the team forward.

Monday Motivation: Embrace a Growth Mindset
Start your week by remembering that development takes patience. Consider Didi Gregorius: once doubted for his hitting, he transformed his game by embracing feedback and learning from his failures.

David Cone: The Leader Who Wasn’t Captain
In the Yankees’ ’90s dynasty, David Cone didn’t wear the “C,” but he defined leadership. From mentoring teammates under intense NYC scrutiny to calming tensions in clutch playoff moments, Cone’s wisdom and steady hand turned pressure into championships.

Monday Motivated: The Trust Factor 📚
