In this special episode, I share a tribute to my father, who passed away suddenly last month. I had always hoped to have him as a guest on this podcast, and while that moment never came, I wanted to honor him by sharing the three core lessons he lived by—lessons that shaped who I am as a leader and a person.
My dad wasn’t a leader by title, but he led through quiet influence. He believed deeply in three things:
Know everyone’s name – because people feel seen.
Practice active listening – because people need to feel heard.
Joy is a choice – and we have the power to choose it every day.
In this episode, I reflect on the stories, values, and impact my father had—not just on me and my sisters, but on everyone who knew him. This one is personal. It’s for anyone who has been shaped by the quiet strength of someone who led with love.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad. This one’s for you.
