Why Smart Leaders Keep Making the Same Mistake

What happens when life forces you to change everything you thought was working? Executive coach Chip Scholz was traveling 200 nights a year, weighed 350 pounds, and running at full speed—until a stroke stopped him cold. What he rebuilt over the next two years became the foundation of his entire leadership philosophy: Semper Gumby. Always flexible.

In this episode, Big G and Scott sit down with Chip to unpack the leadership patterns that quietly destroy even successful people—hubris, confirmation bias, the drift from doing to being. Chip also shares why small decisions matter more than big ones, why the best leaders ask more than they tell, and what woodturning taught him about forcing the cut.

Flexibility isn't weakness. It's how you stay in the fight. Leadership Straight, No Chaser.
