Description

You don’t lose the war when the deal falls apart.

You lose it before the day begins when you snooze the plan, let your energy scatter, or leak frustration onto your team.

That’s the Inner War, and if you don’t win it, every other battle becomes unwinnable.

In this episode of The Dealership War Room, Chris Hunsicker pulls back the curtain on the daily fights leaders ignore until burnout takes over.

You’ll discover the three battles inside the Inner War and the tactical tools to win them every single day:

• Vision & Discipline – How the 3M Morning Drill locks in focus before the world hijacks your day.
• Energy & Recovery – The Red Zone Reset that turns anger and overwhelm into clarity in 90 seconds.
• Leadership & Love – The 3L Filter that transforms correction into connection, building trust that multiplies results.

This isn’t theory. These are field-tested plays that reset your state, sharpen your focus, and protect your influence. Because you can’t lead others if you can’t lead yourself.

Chris Hunsicker is a battle-tested leadership strategist who trains operators to regulate pressure, multiply trust, and lead with fire instead of fatigue.
