Not the Critic Who Counts, But the Leader Who Dares
Show Notes — Not the Critic Who Counts, But the Leader Who DaresHosted by Todd DeVoe and Dan ScottIn this powerful episode, Todd and Dan dive deep into one of the most timeless lessons on leadership, courage, and purpose — inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s legendary “Man in the Arena” speech. Together, they unpack what it means to truly dare greatly in the face of criticism, fear, and uncertainty.This is not a conversation about perfection — it’s about presence.It’s about showing up when others hesitate, leading when the path isn’t clear, and owning both the victories and the scars that come with meaningful work.Todd and Dan reflect on:* The difference between critics and creators, and why leaders must embrace vulnerability to grow.* The emotional toll and moral courage required to lead through crisis, chaos, and change.* Lessons from the field — from the battlefield to the EOC — about standing firm when the stakes are high.* The power of resilience, humility, and conviction as anchors for authentic leadership.* Why daring leadership is not about status, but service — and how every act of courage, big or small, shapes the world around us.Whether you lead a team, a city, or simply yourself, this episode challenges you to step into the arena. Because, as Roosevelt reminded us, “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena… who errs, who comes short again and again… but who does actually strive to do the deeds.”This is a raw, reflective, and empowering conversation that reminds us that leadership is not about being fearless — it’s about daring to act despite fear.💬 Connect:Follow Todd and Dan for more conversations about courage, leadership, and purpose.#Leadership #Courage #ManInTheArena #EmergencyManagement #ToddDeVoe #DanScott #Podcast This is a public episode.
