I’m your host, William Branham, and today I’ll be walking you through some lessons from my time as an instructor in the Modern Day Knight Project and sharing how leadership, both on the battlefield and in everyday life, is about focusing on the real problem—not just the symptoms.Key Takeaways:The Value of Titles vs. Results: Leadership isn't about your title—it's about the results you create.

No one succeeds alone, and real growth happens when teams solve problems as a unit.I challenge you to look at the problems in your life, both personal and professional.
