In my first ever episode of Insurgent CEO, I sat down with Nick Nicholson: my mentor, my friend, and a man whose career ran through the FBI, the Department of Energy, national security, executive protection, and threat assessment.
We talked about what actually builds a man. Why luck is preparation meeting opportunity. How your natural behavioral style shapes the way you lead, and what the DISC assessment shows you about the weaknesses you would rather not name. What a significant emotional event does to the way you show up afterward. My own long run on external validation, which is a road I know well. Why men need other men they can be honest with. The generational patterns you inherited and your responsibility to break them.
Gratitude, faith, fatherhood, and the heart attack that gave Nick the clearest view he has ever had of what matters.
Build the man. Protect the legacy. That is the whole project, and this conversation is the opening argument.
Watch it here:
If you are an entrepreneur, a leader, a husband, a father, or a man who knows there is another level available to you, this one is for you. When you are ready to look honestly at where you are and where you are going, book a discovery call at billvalway.com.
Keep climbing your summit.
