Leadership 101: What We Wish We Knew Before Leading Others - FULL EPISODE

Leadership from the inside is full of pressure, people, and problems you didn’t personally create, yet you’re still accountable for. In this episode of Leading Ain’t Easy, Ryan and Erny break down what we genuinely wish someone told us before we ever led a team: the mental load, the emotional whiplash, the “peaks and valleys,” and why leadership is mostly about people rather than straight technical skill. We talk about: Why leadership is often 80% people and 20% technical What happens when you get promoted over your friends How to handle accountability when it wasn’t “your fault” Why your motivation for becoming a leader matters more than your title How to take feedback (even when it comes in an ugly package) Why new leaders should slow down before making changes If you’re new to leadership, thinking about becoming a manager, or already in it and quietly feeling the weight… this one’s for you. "Leading ain’t easy, but you don’t have to do it alone."
