In this episode of Peak Presence Leadership Origin Stories, I sit down with bestselling author Andrea Waltz, co-author of Go for No.

We talk about:
• Embracing rejection instead of fearing it
• Dealing with the inner critic
• Taking action before you feel ready
• Why failure is often the path to growth
• Building resilience in sales, leadership, and life
• Reframing “no” as part of the process instead of proof you’re not enough

A powerful conversation about courage, mindset, and continuing to show up anyway.

In this episode, we dive into what it really means to lead with authenticity, create value, and serve others at a high level. We explore the difference between price and value, why service is at the core of meaningful leadership, and how small, intentional actions can create a lasting impact. There is also a powerful reflection inspired by Michael A. Singer on how each moment can leave things a little better than we found them. If you are focused on growth, leadership, and showing up in a more genuine way, this conversation is for you.

Eric Hubbard joins the podcast for a thoughtful conversation on faith, relationships, and service in leadership. We discuss the role values play in guiding leaders, the power of authentic relationships, and why service remains one of the most effective leadership principles.
