Join Julie Riga as she sits down with Toni Will, two-time Guinness World Record holder, General Manager of the Kalamazoo Wings, TEDx speaker, entrepreneur, and author of the upcoming book Rebellious Success, to explore how embracing failure, stepping into authenticity, and declaring a bigger game can transform your leadership and unlock the success you were built for.

In This Episode:
✨ Why building a failure resume may be the most powerful competence exercise you will ever do
✨ How playing small to make others comfortable keeps everyone stuck
✨ The role of core values and alignment in building lasting self-trust
✨ Why declaring a bigger game means acting from your next level before you arrive there
✨ How authentic presence and emotional intelligence create stronger connection and collaboration

Key Takeaways:
📌 Failure is not the opposite of success. Quitting is. Invite failure to the table and let it build you
📌 Visionary leaders stop playing small and start pulling others into their bigger game
📌 Core values are your compass. When actions align with values, self-trust grows
📌 Growth does not always mean moving up. Sometimes it means growing out
📌 Ask yourself what it costs you to stay where you are, not just what it costs to move forward
📌 Authentic presence is a leadership skill. Show up fully and let it land where it lands
📌 Investing in yourself is never a risk. The ROI of personal growth compounds over time
