103 | Jon Gordon - Why Great Culture Starts With the Leader - Chris Hodges

What if becoming a better leader starts with becoming a healthier, more positive person?

In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges sits down with bestselling author and leadership expert Jon Gordon, author of The Energy Bus and The Power of Positive Habits, for a practical conversation about positive leadership, healthy culture, personal transformation, and the habits that shape great leaders.

Jon shares his own journey from negativity and personal crisis to discovering the practices that transformed his mindset, marriage, faith, and ultimately his calling. He also pulls from years of working with some of the most successful coaches, professional sports teams, businesses, and organizations in the world to reveal what separates healthy leaders and winning cultures from the rest.

Jon reminds leaders that culture isn't simply something you build, it's something you become. If you want a healthier team, stronger culture, and greater impact, the transformation has to begin with you.

Whether you're leading a church, business, team, or family, this conversation will challenge you to examine your habits, strengthen your relationships, deepen your faith, and become the kind of leader others want to follow.
