Description:

In this week's episode, Michael McRay sets the table for next week's conversation with Brittany and Geoff Anderson, authors of Living Room Leadership. After his divorce, Michael crafted a framed set of commitments that define how he and his son show up together. This episode explores the radical but simple claim that world-changing leadership begins at home, and that the tools we treat as normal at work - vision, mission, values - matter even more in our living rooms. Michael introduces key themes from next week's conversation: moving from deficit to strength-based family culture, understanding families as systems rather than just individuals, and reclaiming play as a leadership technology that accelerates learning and disarms defensiveness. In this episode, Michael also shares:

  • How to shift from organizing family life around what's wrong to organizing around what's already strong
  • Why individual growth isn't enough if the family system doesn't change with you
  • How excavating your story requires gentle patience, slowly uncovering what pain and shame have buried beneath the surface
  • Why the person you are at home is the person you are
