140 | Artificial Buoyancy: Why Leaders Settle in Marriage—and How Not To | CEO of C12 Mike Sharrow
Oct 2800:47:24Tap to summarizeTake your FREE High Performance Marriage Scan--Faith-driven leaders often win at work while quietly running a deficit at home. In this conversation, C12 CEO Mike Sharrow joins Lantz Howard to unpack why so many high-capacity Christian CEOs experience “artificial buoyancy” in marriage—appearing stable because of spiritual convictions and financial margin, while intimacy atrophies. Mike shares C12’s peer-advisor model, their marriage check-in, and a vision for business as ministry that re-centers the CEO to stay focused on Jesus. From the “locker room vs. field of play” church metaphor to a military-grade picture of vulnerability in marriage, this episode invites leaders to run into the storm, tell the truth, and build the only enterprise guaranteed to outlast the P&L: the family.--To get started working with Lantz Howard as your coach go to his website www.lantzhoward.com or get started by filling out the FREE High Performance Marriage Scan --If you found this conversation helpful, share it with one friend that you care about and let them know which section of the conversation to listen to and apply.--Lantz Howard is a Marriage Transformation Coach for Entrepreneurs, CEO's, and high-achieving men. www.lantzhoward.com

Together, they explore the challenges leaders face in staying aligned with their true calling, how to avoid mission drift, and the practical rhythms that help leaders finish the race .Top 5 Learnings1. Mission Drift is Subtle but Inevitable Without GuardrailsOrganizations and leaders don’t wake up one day far off track — it happens through slow drift unless intentional practices anchor them to mission.2. Prayer is Leadership’s LifelineLeadership isn’t just about strategy and execution. Sustained influence requires cultivating intimacy with God through prayer as the first work, not the afterthought.3. Marriage Reveals Leadership HealthThe way leaders engage their spouse and family is often the most honest reflection of how aligned their leadership truly is.4. Leaders Must Finish Well, Not Just Start StrongMany leaders begin with passion and vision but burn out or compromise later. The goal is long obedience in the same direction, finishing the race with integrity.5. Alignment Requires Community and AccountabilityIsolation is a risk for leaders. Having trusted guides, peers, and rhythms of accountability keeps the heart calibrated to God’s purposes.well.Order Peter's new book and lead your team through it together this fall. http://howleaderslosetheirway.com/--Are you a Christ-following high-achieving man?Unlock the wisdom of faith-driven entrepreneurs and business owners who scale their marriage and lead with soul.Subscribe and get the Unlock Intimacy by Friday challenge sent to you for free.Get started working with Lantz as your professional coach by taking this short relationship assessment that will help you get clarity on what needs your focus. www.lantzhoward.com
