When you're climbing a hill with nothing but your legs, your breath, and your mindset, things get real—fast.
Cycling has always been more than a hobby for me. It’s a practice in consistency, discipline, and strategy. The lessons I’ve learned on the road show up constantly in the office. Great cyclists don’t go full throttle on every mile. They know when to lead, when to conserve energy, and when to make their move.
The same holds true for leadership. You don’t build high-performance teams by pushing everyone at full speed all the time. You build them by pacing with intention, knowing your team’s strengths, and recognizing the moments that matter most.
The road doesn’t lie. It teaches you patience, humility, and how to suffer well. And it reminds me that leadership, like riding, is earned every single day.
