A three-day “yes” can reroute an entire life. Josh Irby, Executive Director of LeaderImpact USA, unpacks how an engineering student who loved philosophy questions ended up moving to Croatia, then serving for years across the Balkans, building leaders and communities in places shaped by war, transition, and big questions about meaning.
We talk about decision paralysis and the fear of choosing the wrong path, especially when everyone else seems to have a cleaner career ladder and a shinier highlight reel. Josh offers a grounded leadership principle that cuts through the noise: stop fixating on the position you want and focus on the person you are becoming. Healthy trees produce fruit, and character is what keeps leadership sustainable when pressure rises.
