E-85: High-Octane Leadership and the 19-Month Burn

E-85: High-Octane Leadership and the 19-Month Burn

E-85, joins The Glue-OOM to talk about leadership that doesn’t spike, it burns.

A former college baseball player and fuel trader, E-85 didn’t struggle with effort, he struggled with losing the team. What followed was five years of consistency, a record-setting 19-month run as Site Q, and a leadership philosophy built on giving the mic away instead of holding it.

This episode is about endurance leadership, brotherhood as fuel, and why the men who last aren’t the loudest in the circle.

✅ Highlights

✅ Why “high-octane” leadership is about endurance, not intensity ✅ The story behind the name E-85 ✅ Leading for 19 months without ripping a single beatdown ✅ Rebuilding team after college athletics ✅ Fueling Shield Locks, fatherhood, and consistency ✅ Faith practiced in the group and in the wild
