Hey Allies,
There comes a point where carrying it all on your own isn’t strength—it’s survival mode. In this lesson, I’m opening up about one of the hardest nights of my life and the moment I finally realized it was okay to ask for help. Together, we’ll talk about why we resist reaching out, how to know when it’s time, and what it really looks like to lean on someone. You were never meant to do this alone.

Hey there, Allies!

Life has a way of throwing curveballs—setbacks, failures, unexpected losses. And when those moments hit, it’s easy to get stuck looking back, wondering what if? But here’s the truth: The past can teach us, but it can’t define us.

This week’s Audible Ally Extra Credit is all about “Keep Moving Forward.” Inspired by leaders like Jocko Willink and my own personal journey—whether it was losing my dad to cancer or navigating career changes—I’ve learned that progress isn’t about forgetting the past. It’s about learning from it and taking the next step.

No matter what you’ve been through, you are not stuck. You have the power to take the next step, no matter how small. So let’s talk about it, let’s push forward, and let’s keep growing—together.

Tune in now! And if this message hits home for you, let me know how you’re choosing to move forward this week. Reach out to me at @AudibleAlly on Linktree—I’d love to hear from you!

Stay strong, keep pushing, and remember—you’ve got this.

Talk soon, Allies!— Wam Bam Kam

You ever have a great idea, a solid plan, or a new initiative that you knew was the right move—but when you shared it with your team, all you got was resistance, indifference, or half-hearted compliance?

Yeah, we’ve all been there.

The truth is, leadership isn’t about giving orders—it’s about getting people to believe. You can have the best strategy in the world, but if your team doesn’t buy in, it’s already dead in the water. The difference between a high-performing team and one that just goes through the motions comes down to one thing: commitment vs. compliance.

Whether you’re leading a small group, managing a large team, or just looking to be more influential in your workplace, this lesson is packed with tools to help you get people on board—not just following orders.- Wam Bam Kam
