EP 8 – No Bridge Too Far; No Gap Too Wide
In this episode of Off Script, we step into a leadership workshop that wasn’t about policies, new rules, or checklists — but about people, connection, and the human work of leadership.
Josh takes us inside a room full of seasoned, gritty leaders — boots-on-the-ground types whose decisions carry life-or-death weight. When one of them asks a deceptively simple question — “How do we bridge the gap?” — it sparks a day-long conversation that leads to a transformative realization:
It’s leadership — not the kind we’re used to, but the kind that starts with human connection.
Through reflection, dialogue, and challenge, Josh unpacks why we too often confuse managing with leading, and how real leadership requires presence, vulnerability, and trust. And just like in the workshop, you’ll leave this episode with clear, actionable ways to bridge the gap in your own world.
