In Tyler’s book, The Things We Hide, he shares his personal journey and the lessons learned from confronting insecurity, identity, and responsibility.

She texted her kids to have a great day. Then she pulled into the parking lot she had used for over 10 years.A man she had never seen before was waiting.What happened next changed everything.Erika is a civil engineer. She has spent more than 20 years in construction, where only about 11% of the workers are women. She had the hard hat, the corner office, the family. She thought she was living a big, bold life. What happened to her that day in June showed her she had been playing it safe. She had also been packing years of pain into a dark "basement" she never meant to open.In this conversation, Erika sits down with show host and longtime friend Tyler Dickerhoof. She tells the story of what happened to her that day and the three and a half years of trials that came after.She also shares the moment in her backyard, hood up and body bruised, when her children's laughter reminded her she had a choice. She could stay a victim. She could survive. Or she could thrive.She chose to thrive. The thing that carried her through was human connection: her husband, her sister, her friends, and people she barely knew who showed up.Erika and Tyler also talk about:What leading in a male-populated industry taught her, and what she learned from a female-populated oneThe drawing exercise that showed her what she had been hidingWhy trauma always finds a way out, and why facing it head-on mattersThe pink rubber band and how discomfort builds resilienceWhy grace sits in the middle of "grit, grace, and glitz," and why it's the part most leaders skipA mentor's question she still asks herself: "Do you want to win the battle and lose the war?"Her BOLD method for turning your hardest story into a light for someone elseEveryone gets a wake-up call. Erika's came in a parking lot. Yours may look different, but the choice is the same: what will you do with it?Mentioned in this episodeAudacious Expansion by Erika RothenbergerGrit, Grace & Glitz podcastAudacious Woman SummitConnect with Erikaerikarothenberger.comConnect with TylerTyler@TylerDickerhoof.com

Ep 272 Finding Your Self Worth After the Title, Mission & Money Are Gone w/Dr. Esther Zeledon
What happens when everything you've built — your contracts, your identity, your network — disappears in a single week?Dr. Esther Zeledon, founder of Be Act Change and author of Creating Your Limitless Life, knows that answer firsthand.In this conversation, Esther takes us back to the wound that started everything: a 10-year-old girl watching her father lose his PhD funding, her family's world unraveling mid-school year, and the obsession with advocacy that grew from that moment.That obsession eventually carried her into humanitarian aid, where she grew a $700K project into a $100M initiative and invented the $40 billion question along the way.Then January 2026 hit. USAID cuts. Half a million dollars in signed contracts gone in a week. Two months in bed. And then — the pivot that only someone who'd already left once could make.In this episode, Tyler and Esther explore:The $40 billion question: why asking people to dream impossibly big is actually the most practical leadership tool there isWhat it looks like to help hundreds of humanitarian aid workers grieve the loss of their entire professional identity — and step into their power anywayWhy the organizations we serve can quietly convince us we're nothing without them (and Tyler's four monkeys story that perfectly captures why)The difference between saving people and serving themThe universal fear underneath every high achiever: Do I have value? Am I enough?Why the hardest work Esther has ever done isn't coaching others — it's her own boundariesThis is a conversation about what hides beneath titles, credentials, and missions. And what emerges when all of it gets stripped away.Connect with Dr. Esther ZeledonInstagram: @be.act.changeLinkedIn: Esther ZeledonMentioned in this episode:Creating Your Limitless Life by Dr. Esther ZeledonThe $40 Billion Question FrameworkBe Act Change

You know your product. You've got clients, revenue, a team. But growth has gotten harder and you're not sure why.Here's what nobody wants to admit: the disconnect between the value you think you deliver and the value your clients actually feel is probably wider than you know.

Ep 257 The Things We Hide: The Walls You Built to Survive Are Limiting Your Leadership
Most leaders think they're in control of how they lead. They're not.Underneath every decision, reaction, and every room you walk into is something that's running the show.

Ep 270 Authentic Leadership, Fear, and the Neuroscience of Real Influence w/Caroline Webb
What if the greatest obstacle to your leadership isn't your experience? What if it's the disconnect between how you think you're showing up as a leader and how your team experiences you?Caroline Webb, economist turned McKinsey partner turned executive coach, and author of the brand-new book Leadership Intelligence joins show host, Tyler Dickerhoof to discuss her time at the Bank of England forecasting national economies. And later spending three decades inside the world's most high-stakes boardrooms studying one question: what is the human brain doing when a leader tries to lead?What emerges from this conversation is something rarely discussed: the most important variable in any organization isn't market conditions, competitive pressure, or strategy. It's the interior life of the person at the top. You, the leader of it all.In this episode:Caroline shares the moment she stopped hiding an 8-month health crisis from her boss and colleaguesWhat that period taught her about the same hiding pattern she sees in leaders every dayWhy being promoted for individual brilliance is often the thing that derails great leadershipAnd the neuroscience of why stress makes leaders either aggressive or invisible — and how both responses shrink the very solution space they need most.You can connect with Caroline at: https://carolinewebb.co/And grab a copy of her book Leadership Intelligence: Science Backed Strategies for Mastering 21 Everyday Management Challenges🔥 Tyler's Lead Without Hiding Challenge: leadwithouthiding.com — offered once a month.

Ep 269 The Leadership Exit Nobody Prepares You For w/Matt Friedman
There's a version of success nobody warns you about. The one where you've built something meaningful, achieved significance, and then handed it over. Suddenly the thing that defined you for decades is gone, and you're left wondering who you are without it.Matt Friedman built Wing Zone from $500 and a fraternity kitchen into a 140-location franchise across six countries. He spent 27 years pouring himself into that brand. And when he finally sold it, he discovered something uncomfortable: he had no idea what came next, and he'd been hiding that from himself for years.In this conversation, Matt pulls back the curtain on the quiet identity crisis that follows a major exit, the arrogance that crept in during the peak years, and why the things he never examined about himself were exactly the things that held him back as a leader. He also shares what it took to rebuild — not the business, but himself — and why the five years between selling Wing Zone and stepping in as CEO of Epic Wings were the most important of his career.If you're a leader approaching a transition, sitting in one, or quietly dreading the moment your title no longer tells you who you are, this conversation is for you. Matt talks honestly about what to plan for, what most people get wrong about exiting, and why the most important work you'll ever do isn't building the company — it's deciding who you want to be when it's done.Learn more about Matt on LinkedIn Here.Or visit his website and grab a copy of his book The Wing Zone Story athttps://mattfriedman.com/

Ep 268 Why Leading Change Feels So Hard (And the Science That Makes It Easier) w/ Jeff Wetherhold
88% of organizational changes produce no lasting results. Harvard-trained behavioral scientist Jeff Wetherhold says the reason isn't resistance, it's that we've been teaching leaders the wrong skills for decades.In this conversation, Jeff and host, Tyler Dickerhoof, revel why inner work alone doesn't translate into better leadership, why "buy-in" is a trap, and why directive communication is quietly destroying trust inside organizations.Jeff brings more than 20 years of clinical change science into a surprisingly practical conversation about what it takes to lead people through uncertainty, how to listen for motivation and demotivation, why reflecting beats questioning in hard conversations, and how vulnerability stops being a buzzword and becomes a real skill.Connect with Jeff at jeffwetherhold.com.
