The Summit Podcast is a conversations-first show for business owners, leaders, and high performers who are committed to growth—personally and professionally.

Hosted by Bob Turner, performance coach and founder of Summit Coaching & Consulting, the podcast features real, unfiltered conversations with entrepreneurs, contractors, coaches, and operators who are building businesses, leading teams, and navigating the challenges that come with growth.

These aren’t highlight-reel success stories. We dig into mindset, leadership, discipline, decision-making, failure, resilience, and what it actually takes to show up every day and lead at a higher level—at work, at home, and in life.

Whether you’re scaling a business, rebuilding after adversity, or simply looking for clarity and momentum, The Summit Podcast is designed to challenge your thinking, sharpen your edge, and help you rise to the next level.

This is about doing the work.
This is about becoming uncommon.
This is The Summit.

  • Leadership Is Earned, Not Given | Phil Kornachuk on Mastery, Discipline & Leading Through Uncertainty
    Apr 13 2026

    In this episode of The Summit Podcast, I sit down with Phil Kornachuk for a real conversation on leadership, personal mastery, and what it actually takes to lead when things get uncertain.

    We break down a simple truth that most people miss:

    Leadership isn’t assigned… it’s earned.

    Phil shares insights from his work with Stonewater Training, along with lessons from real-life experiences that challenge the way we think about influence, discipline, and control.

    We talk about:

    • The difference between leadership and position
    • Why influence matters more than authority
    • How to navigate uncertainty and ambiguity
    • The role of discipline and accountability in growth
    • What it takes to step up in critical moments
    • Why letting go of control can actually make you a better leader

    This isn’t theory — it’s real, practical leadership you can apply immediately in your business and your life.

    If you’re serious about growth, this episode will push you to take a hard look at how you’re showing up every day.

    💬 Key Quotes
    • “Leadership is earned, not assigned.”
    • “Let go of the need for control.”
    • “Every day is a gift—be present.”
