In a culture obsessed with moving fast, Mikel offers a counterintuitive truth: real leadership moves at the speed of trust. Drawing from Stephen Covey’s principle and Proverbs 11:3, he warns that speed in the wrong direction is just “accelerated regret.” Through a personal story of broken trust early in his career, Mikel unpacks why trust takes intentionality, transparency, and consistency—not perfection. If you’re leading a team, building a vision, or stewarding influence, this episode will help you set a sustainable pace that protects relationships and builds something that lasts.
