Leadership isn’t just learned in books—it’s absorbed through example. In this episode, Mikel reminds us that your life is the loudest lesson you’ll ever teach.
The best leadership principles can be written in manuals, taught in workshops, and quoted on posters—but they don’t stick until they’re seen in action. In this episode, Mikel unpacks the truth that leadership is more caught than taught. Drawing from Paul’s example in 1 Corinthians 11:1 and personal stories of mentors who led by example, he challenges us to live in a way worth imitating. Whether you’re leading a team, a family, or a community, this is your call to stop relying on speeches and start letting your daily life do the teaching.

You can read every leadership book and memorize every principle, but the lessons that truly stick are the ones you see lived out. Mikel shares how mentors in his life taught more through their daily example than through their words. Citing 1 Corinthians 11:1, he reminds us that leadership without integrity is empty—and people imitate what you consistently do. Whether in a team, a family, or a community, your life is the loudest curriculum you’ll ever create. If you want others to grow, start by living in a way worth following.
