In this episode, I’m sharing the lessons I learned from one of my greatest teachers: my most difficult horse, Tag. We’ll talk about the specific lessons that I learned through lots of training and mentorships as well as why this tough training matters just as much for the human as it does for the horse.

More than anything, Tag taught me that progress comes from hard work, paying attention, and learning to lead with clarity. Even if you don't own horses, I think there's lots of good thought-provoking parts that you'll still find interesting.
