🎙 Living Beyond Average Podcast

Hosted by Lionel Murphy

What if everything you were taught about leadership—effort, strength, sacrifice—wasn’t entirely true?

What if pushing harder wasn’t the answer?

What if your greatest leadership breakthroughs come not from perfection, but from presence?

The Living Beyond Average Podcast exists to dismantle leadership myths that keep high-performing people stuck—especially those who serve, protect, and carry the weight of others.

Hosted by Lionel Murphy—a U.S. Air Force veteran, retired law enforcement officer, leadership educator, and author of Experiential Leadership Theory: Leadership Through Horsemanship—this podcast delivers leadership wisdom forged in the field, refined in the saddle, and anchored in truth.

Each episode challenges a cultural cliché and replaces it with clarity, courage, and practical tools for leading with integrity in real life—not in theory.

Whether you’re a first responder, veteran, public servant, educator, parent, or simply a person trying to lead when it’s hard—this show is your weekly companion for rising above average expectations and living into legacy.

💥 Inside, you’ll get:

• Hard-earned lessons from real-life leadership trenches
• Horsemanship-based metaphors with modern applications
• Thought-provoking reflections for men and women who serve
• Honest conversations on identity, emotional presence, and purpose

Because leadership isn’t about image—it’s about how you show up when no one’s watching.

🎯 Tools. Truth. Legacy.
