Every leader, team, and organization is building lore—the story people tell long after the work is done. It’s not just facts or results; it’s the feeling you create and the culture you reinforce through everyday actions. The question isn’t whether you’ll have lore, but whether it will be intentional or accidental. This post explores how to design the story others carry about you, your leadership, and your organization—and why it matters for your future.

Leadership lessons from Youth Camp? This summer, I had the chance to join @prodigalyth at Shaver Lake for 3 days of tubing, worship, and deep connection. But here’s what stuck with me—3 big reminders for any leader: environment shapes energy, shared experiences build deep trust, and leaders set the tone for vulnerability.

Sometimes leadership lessons come from unexpected places—like a broken AC in the middle of a Fresno summer. Systems rarely fail all at once; they quietly drift into dysfunction until everything stops working at the same time. In this post, we explore what proactive leadership looks like, why waiting too long creates unnecessary crises, and how building support and structure early can keep things running cool when the pressure rises. ❄️🔥

In a season full of busyness and distractions, the most meaningful gift we can give is our presence. Not perfection, not productivity — but showing up fully for the people in front of us. Presence is rare, powerful, and the one gift that multiplies every time it’s given.
Continue ReadingWhy Slow Work Is Still Sacred Work
During our week in Chiwaya Village, Malawi, we learned that leadership isn’t just about speed or scale—it’s about presence, patience, and connection. Sometimes the most meaningful work moves at the pace of relationships. Slowing down allows leaders to see people, build trust, and lead with purpose, not just productivity.
Continue ReadingWhat a Night in Ethiopia Taught Me About Leadership
During a mission trip to Malawi, a travel delay taught me an unforgettable lesson: presence matters more than productivity. People remember how you show up — curious, calm, compassionate — not just what you get done. Leadership isn’t measured by tasks completed, but by hearts impacted.
Continue ReadingGratitude Dies in Silence — But Multiplies When Spoken
Last month marked seven years of Dream Support. Seven years of helping leaders reclaim their time, rediscover their purpose, and lead from a place of peace instead of pressure. And as we head into Thanksgiving week, I’m feeling deeply grateful. Grateful for the clients who trusted us in their chaos. […]

We’re told to “build something that lasts” — but what if it doesn’t? What if your work doesn’t outlive you, scale, or go viral? That doesn’t make it worthless.
