What if better leadership starts with surrender?

In this episode, we’re joined by Jessica Kriegel, Chief Strategy Officer at Culture Partners and co-author of Surrender to Lead, to explore why surrender isn’t weakness—it’s a leadership advantage. Harrison and Jessica discuss everything from what surrendering means (and *spoiler alert* it doesn't mean giving up), all the way to what culture really is.

You’ll walk away with practical insights and simple micro-shifts you can apply this week to lead with greater clarity, humility, and impact.

In this episode, Harrison Tash talks with former Navy SEAL Commander Chris Irwin about why “sucking it up” isn’t a sustainable strategy — and how the Mind Killer Framework reveals five patterns that quietly limit our leadership: Oblivion, Storytelling, Fear, Suppression, and Stagnation.

Chris also shares the ARROW Framework — practical antidotes that build mental fitness through small, consistent reps: Awareness, Reframing, Regulation, Openness, and Wonder. Together, these tools help us shift from reactive to regulated and from stuck to growing.
