Most leadership advice isn’t making leaders better — it’s making them brittle.It rewards speed over substance. Applause over alignment. Output over obedience.And it’s quietly burning out good men who were never meant to lead this way.In this episode, I confront hustle culture at the root, and I unpack a 7-part leadership framework from the book of Nehemiah — a model that begins with burden before building, prayer before pressure, and obedience before outcomes.This isn’t theory.This is for leaders who look successful on paper but feel fractured in private.For the ones who are moving fast… but drifting far.Inside this conversation, we cover:• The uncomfortable truth behind leadership burnout• Why hustle culture sounds wise — but produces collapse• What made Nehemiah’s leadership fundamentally different• 7 timeless principles for building without breaking• How to lead with clarity, integrity, and lasting peace📍 The Redprint WorkshopLive coaching for high-achieving Christian men who are done performing and ready to realign.👉 Register here → https://coach-redwallace.kit.com/redprintworkshopIf this stirred something in you, don’t scroll past it.Share this with a leader you love — and tell me in the comments:👉 Where are you feeling pressured to hustle instead of obey?🔔 Subscribe for leadership grounded in Scripture, psychology, and lived experience.#Leadership #ChristianLeadership #Burnout #Nehemiah #FaithAndWork #HustleCulture #BiblicalLeadershipWHO AM IHey, I'm Red Wallace, a former rapper(10 year career) current drummer turned personal development coach.
