How do you develop leaders who can stay disciplined, think clearly under pressure, and turn adversity into an advantage?
In my latest episode, Master Gunnery Sergeant Shelon “Hutch” Hutchison shares leadership lessons shaped by a 27-year Marine Corps career—and a journey that began as a kid walking barefoot along a Jamaican mountainside.
Hutch’s perspective offers practical takeaways for today’s professionals and leaders:
- Reframe challenges so they build capability, not frustration
- Measure progress backward to reduce anxiety and accelerate momentum
- Use the pause between stimulus and response to lead with clarity rather than emotion
- Reinvent yourself mid-career by raising your standards, not your excuses
His story is a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about discipline, mindset, and the choices we make every day.
Stay unarmored, stay authentic, and stay mentally fit. And as always — I’m praying for you all. God bless.
