Ep085 - Stunt Work and Community

What does stunt work have to do with leadership, trust, and personal growth? More than you think. In this episode of Midweek MindSHIFT, we dive into the wild world of live stunt performing—falling from rooftops, taking hits, and learning how to trust your team. What does it take to master controlled chaos? And how does that apply to business, leadership, and building a strong community? Let’s break it down.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- How my time as a stunt performer shaped my understanding of leadership and trust
- The connection between stunt work, leadership, and communication
- Why trust is everything—in business, life, and community
- How learning to fall well makes all the difference in success
- The dangers of a divided world and how to rebuild strong relationships

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Trust isn’t optional. Whether in stunt work, business, or personal relationships, success depends on trust.
- Clear communication prevents disaster. In stunt performing, a misstep leads to injury. In leadership, it leads to failure.
- Falling is inevitable—learning how to land is the key. Every setback is an opportunity to recover and grow.
- Strong teams create strong communities. Trust and reliability aren’t just leadership principles; they’re life principles.
- FUTURE YOU depends on the relationships you build today. Who’s got your back? And are you building the kind of trust that will support your next big leap?
