Ready for a New Year reset that sticks? We blend joyful banter and unapologetically corny dad jokes with a clear, practical framework for purpose-driven leadership. Between coughs and groans, we dig into what it really means to lead from the front—drawing on the Greek sense of a leader as the one who stands in front and pilots the group—and why that posture matters more than any resolution made at midnight.

We unpack why so many resolutions fade by February: goals without purpose become pressure, and big ambition without systems becomes noise. Our playbook is simple and strong. Anchor every goal to mission. Choose one to three big rocks per quarter. Backdate milestones from a real finish line, then translate each milestone into weekly behaviors. Build accountability that fits your team—weekly for some, monthly for others—but make expectations, timelines, and measures unmistakably clear. Consistency beats intensity, so trade the January sprint for steady momentum you can sustain.

We also talk about honest year-end reviews—own what you controlled, name what you didn’t, and refine your plan. Perfectionism is procrastination in a suit; progress requires starting before it feels perfect. And yes, you’ll get an avalanche of dad jokes ready for your New Year’s party. We close with a preview of our next series in Romans, continuing our journey through the Bible to extract practical leadership principles for modern life and work.

If this episode helps you laugh, plan, and lead with more clarity, tap follow, share it with a friend who’s setting goals, and leave a review to tell us your single biggest “big rock” for the quarter. Let’s make leadership—not the calendar—shape the year ahead.
