A proposito di questo titolo

A Badass Softie is unapologetically ambitious and leads with heart. Ambitious and kind. Fun and driven. Powerful and deeply human.

Badass Softie, hosted by Dr. J.J. Peterson, is a podcast that challenges the false choice leaders are too often given: be strong or be compassionate. The world doesn’t just need more leaders — it needs leaders bold enough to make an impact and compassionate enough to make it meaningful. Each episode pulls back the curtain on leaders, creators, and innovators who are rewriting the rules of what real leadership looks like. You’ll walk away with stories, insights, and practical takeaways that show you how to lead with both strength and softness — the very definition of being a Badass Softie.

  • When Cynicism Feels Earned — and Why Leaders Can’t Afford to Live There
    Jan 19 2026

    Cynicism often starts as protection. It forms after systems fail, trust erodes, and disappointment stacks up. For many leaders, it feels reasonable—earned, even. But over time, that armor begins to cost more than it protects.

    Dr. J.J. Peterson reflects on how cynicism quietly reshapes leadership: how it changes tone, limits trust, narrows imagination, and distances us from the very people and possibilities that make leadership meaningful. This is a meditation on disciplined hope—not naïve optimism, not denial—but the courageous choice to remain open, curious, and human when closing off would be easier.

    What This Explores

    • Why cynicism is often a wound response, not a personality trait
    • The subtle ways cynicism erodes trust, creativity, and psychological safety
    • How “emotional armor” can outlive its usefulness
    • Why hope is a leadership discipline, not a temperament
    • What it looks like to lead with tenderness without becoming brittle

    This reflection may resonate with leaders who are tired, thoughtful, and still deeply committed—even if they feel more guarded than they used to. If this stirred something for you, consider sharing it with someone who’s been carrying more armor than they’d like to admit.

  • The Best Leadership Lessons Come From Where You Least Expect
    Jan 12 2026

    Some of the most meaningful leadership lessons don’t come from business books, keynote stages, or boardrooms.

    Sometimes, they come from places you don’t expect.

    In this episode of Badass Softie, Dr. J.J. Peterson shares unexpected leadership insights inspired by a behind-the-scenes look at Taylor Swift and her record-breaking Eras Tour. What he expected was spectacle. What he didn’t expect was a masterclass in leadership with heart.

    This episode explores what it looks like to lead at the highest level without becoming harder, colder, or smaller in the process.

    You’ll hear reflections on:

    • Emotional discipline and why leaders shouldn’t dump their stress downhill
    • Showing up as a guide, not the hero
    • How preparation creates freedom and confidence
    • Why generosity and shared wins build loyalty
    • What true belonging looks like on a team
    • The power of owning your work, your voice, and your story

    If you’re tired of leadership advice that asks you to sacrifice your humanity for success, this conversation offers a better way.

    If this episode resonated with you:
    • Save it for the next time you need a reminder of the kind of leader you want to be.
    • Share it with someone who feels tired of leading the “right” way and is ready for a better one.
    • Or send it to a leader who needs fresh inspiration from an unexpected place.

    Because the world doesn’t need more polished leaders. It needs leaders who are prepared, generous, clear — and deeply human.

    That’s what being a Badass Softie looks like.

  • Redefining Success Before the New Year Defines It for You
    Jan 5 2026

    As a new year begins, many leaders feel an unspoken pressure to measure themselves against impossible standards — more growth, more output, more proof that they’re “enough.”

    In this episode of Badass Softie, Dr. JJ Peterson invites listeners to pause and challenge the definition of success they’ve been handed.

    Drawing from his own experiences launching businesses, leading teams, publishing a bestselling book, and creating work that mattered long before it was visible, Dr. Peterson makes a compelling case for redefining success as alignment, not achievement.

    He introduces the concept of a Year of Enoughness — not as a lowering of ambition, but as a way to protect it. A definition of success that doesn’t demand burnout, self-abandonment, or the loss of creativity and joy.

    Listeners will explore:

    • Why achievement without alignment can still feel like failure
    • How leaders unknowingly hustle for worth instead of living from it
    • The difference between performative success and sustainable leadership
    • A simple three-question framework to redefine success from the inside out

    This episode is for leaders who are deeply driven — and quietly tired of measuring their lives by what looks impressive instead of what feels true.

    If this episode resonates, share it with someone you believe is a badass softie — a leader who is ambitious, values-driven, and ready to build success without losing their humanity.
