Great leaders aren't defined by how loudly they speak— but by how strong their team becomes because of them.

Show Notes — "Lead From the Front—and the Back"

In today's episode, Baylor breaks down what real leadership looks like as we move into 2026—not the title, not the spotlight, but the standard you set and the people you surround yourself with.

He challenges you to evaluate your circle: Are these quality people? Do they have integrity? Do they help move you forward—and do you help move them?

Baylor explains why true leaders don't cling to the front position. They lead when they need to lead, support when they need to support, and create teams that focus on the objective, not job titles, finger-pointing, or ego.

From cheering the loudest for others' success to recognizing when your mentee rises to your level, Baylor shows how a leader's true legacy is measured by the people they elevate.

And as he reminds us—your inner circle shouldn't be open enrollment. Protect the standard. Protect the culture. Build a circle that earns the right to grow with you.
