Unlocking Why Kids Are Braver Than Us (And Why That Should Worry You) With Leah Ellis

Most adults think leadership comes later. Leah Ellis proves it starts early and we're the ones getting in the way.

In this episode, Leah shares how kids naturally think like entrepreneurs, why we accidentally train confidence out of them, and what happens when you stop saying "no" and start asking better questions. From kids solving real-world problems to influencing legislation, this conversation flips the script on leadership, confidence, and growth.

We also dive into how adults can relearn curiosity, decision-making, and courage by watching how kids approach the world. If you're leading a team, raising kids, or just trying to think bigger again, this episode will challenge how you see leadership entirely.
