Most people live a life filled with regrets. Boldness is the solution, and fortunately, boldness can be learned. Today’s guest is Fred Joyal, CEO of TruBlu Social Smiles, a video testimonial platform. Fred is a bestselling author, international speaker, and entrepreneur. He co-founded the most successful dentist referral service in the country, 1-800-DENTIST. His latest book, Superbold: from Under-confident to Charismatic in 90 days, is a Wall Street Journal bestseller. He once beat Sir Richard Branson in chess and was also a question on Jeopardy. He is an avid cyclist, a below-average tennis player, and an even worse golfer. You’ll hear how Fred knew he had to become bold after missing too many incredible opportunities, including in love and relationships. He’ll give us the PRIDE steps to improving your boldness muscles, how to do ‘drive-by compliments’, and many examples of how managers and bosses can become better leaders using boldness to give feedback (good and bad!) “in the moment.” Amazing things happen when you’re bold, so give it a try! Tune in and subscribe to future episodes of The Culture of Leadership.

Cobe Williams had every reason to give up. Following his father's imprisonment and death, alongside his mother's struggle with drug addiction, the odds were stacked against him. Yet, Cobe's journey from the harsh realities of street life to becoming a community leader is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of relationships. In this episode, we explore Cobe's incredible path to redemption, focusing on the significance of conflict resolution and the essential nature of neutrality. We delve into stories that highlight the profound impact of family connections, like a poignant court encounter between a father and his young son that ignited a life-changing shift. Cobe also underscores the importance of positive role models and mentors in steering individuals away from a destructive path and towards a life filled with purpose. Building safer communities through violence intervention is more than a mission; it’s a necessity. As Cobe shares his personal experiences and successes, including the positive reception of his book, we examine the critical need for greater resource allocation in community empowerment efforts. By listening, understanding, and never giving up on individuals, we can foster real change. This episode is a call to action, urging us all to support and invest in the continuous work required to make a lasting impact on our communities.
