Season 1, Episode 3 // Leadership Culture With Chris Behnke

Most people struggle not because they lack talent, but because they lack access to the right resources. In this episode, Chris Behnke sits down with New York Times Bestselling Author and Entrepreneur, Matthew Lesko, to discuss how to train yourself for failure, unlock hidden opportunities, and find the funding you never knew existed.

Matthew shares why perseverance beats talent, how Google and capitalism limit your options, and the secret third of the economy that gives people access to billions of dollars in untapped resources. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a struggling business owner, or someone looking for a fresh start, this episode will change the way you think about money, opportunity, and success.

Success is about perseverance, not perfection – Stop training for success and start training for how to navigate failure.

Most people are searching in the wrong places – Google and capitalism push solutions that require money, but a third of the economy runs on free resources you’re not aware of.

There’s money available for almost anything – From housing, education, and small business funding to personal emergencies, programs exist that can help—if you know where to look.

Leadership starts with self-awareness – Before you can lead others, you have to know yourself, follow your passion, and align your work with what fulfills you.

Experts don’t have all the answers – The best leaders don’t tell people what to do, they help people uncover what they really want and support them in achieving it.

"Your heart is smarter than your brain. Listen to it." – Matthew Lesko
