This week’s study on disciple leadership was honestly super eye-opening for me. I’ve always thought of leadership as being the person in charge or the one who makes all the decisions, but this week made me realize it’s way more about who you are than what position you hold. A disciple-leader is someone people actually want to follow because of their character, not their title, and that really stuck with me. One thing I liked was the idea that real capability comes from being willing to keep learning and improving, not from being the smartest or most educated person in the room. That actually makes leadership feel a lot less intimidating. I don’t have to be perfect to lead I just have to be someone who’s trying to grow.

Another takeaway for me was about choosing the right people to work with. The whole “get the right people on the bus” thing hit harder this week. If I ever start my own business, I want to be surrounded by people who are honest, hardworking, and genuinely want to build something good. It’s crazy how much easier everything becomes when you’re around people who actually share your values. The bakers vs. eaters analogy also made a lot of sense. Bakers try to create more opportunities and make the pie bigger for everyone instead of seeing everything as a competition. That’s the kind of entrepreneur I want to be. I want to build something that helps people, not something that’s just about me.

Overall, this week made me think a lot about the kind of leader I want to become someone who lifts people, leads by example, and tries to do things the right way. I’m actually excited to learn more about how to build those qualities now so I’m ready when I finally start my own business.

 This week really made me think about what actually matters in life. The readings and videos from “How Will You Measure Your Life” talked a lot about success and what it really means. It made me realize that being successful isn’t just about making money or having nice things it’s about living a life that feels meaningful and being proud of who you are. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was how small choices every day can shape who you become. It’s not just the big, life-changing moments that matter it’s the little stuff that adds up over time. That hit me because I know there are times I take the easy route or focus too much on short-term goals. I want to do better at making choices that match my values and who I want to be. Another thing that stood out was balance. It’s easy to get caught up in work or school and forget about the people and things that really matter like family, faith, and health. I want to make sure I’m keeping those things a priority no matter ho...

 Hunter Robison 10/03/25 This week’s lesson on honesty and business ethics really made me think about the kind of person I want to be, especially if I ever run my own business. One of the main things I learned is that honesty isn’t just about telling the truth it’s also about being consistent and doing the right thing even when nobody’s watching. That part hit me because it’s easy to talk about being honest, but actually living it out every day can be a lot harder, especially when things get stressful or money is involved. Something that really stood out to me was how important trust and reputation are in business. If people know they can rely on you, that’s worth more than money in the long run. Once you lose that trust, it’s really hard to get it back. I also realized that the right choice isn’t always the most convenient or the one that makes you the most profit, but it’s always the one that will make you feel good about yourself later. Writing out my “I will never” and “I wil...

 This week’s A Hero’s Journey video really got me thinking about what success actually means and how it’s not just about money or recognition, but about finding purpose and meaning in what we do. One of my biggest takeaways was that every person has the potential to live their own hero’s journey to face challenges, grow from them, and make a difference in the lives of others. I liked how the video compared life to a journey instead of a race. It reminded me that what really matters is who you become along the way, not just what you achieve. Something else that stood out to me was the message about calling. The video talked about finding work that matters and doing something that aligns with your values. That really hit home because I’ve been thinking a lot about what kind of work I want to do in the future. I don’t just want a job; I want to build something meaningful something that helps people or makes life better in some way. From the Mastery Skill, Character, or Luck lesson, ...
