Episode 91 | Timeless Leadership Vision
Embarking on the journey of leadership is akin to sculpting a masterpiece that endures the passage of time. In the latest podcast episode with Joshua K. McMillion, listeners undergo a transformative process emphasizing goal setting and molding one's essence. The crux of the discussion is the V-I-S-I-O-N system, a personalized approach to creating a vision that aligns with one's personal and professional life. The importance of this vision is multifaceted, impacting both the individual leader and the collective they inspire.
The discussion highlights the significance of having a personal strength statement—a beacon that guides through turbulent times. This concept is further enriched by the wisdom of vocal coach Liz Howard, who asserts that finding the right note in life can unlock boundless possibilities. McMillion echoes this sentiment, sharing his mantra that "every day is a gift," a philosophy forged through personal trials and military service. This statement serves as a powerful reminder to seize the day, a mantra that is both grounding and uplifting.
The episode delves into refining a 10-year vision into tangible 5-year and 1-year SMARTS goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-based, and Shared. This approach ensures accountability, turning the lofty into the achievable. The narrative underscores the necessity of daily routine, accountability, and discipline—the RAD approach—in manifesting a vision into reality. McMillion stresses the significance of the rhythm of life, the steady beat that prepares us to face the unpredictable with confidence and agility.
Listeners are also offered a generous offer: a free coaching call with McMillion to help personalize these principles into a tangible growth plan. This opportunity is an open invitation to build a life of intention, growth, and meaningful leadership.
The podcast vividly portrays what it means to be a resilient and intentional leader through McMillion's military experience and personal anecdotes. It invites all aspiring leaders to join in on a transformation journey and become a beacon of purposeful, accountable leadership. Each chapter gives the listener the tools to navigate their leadership growth with a visionary system that promises freedom and fulfillment.
The episode serves as a guide for those ready to shape their essence for timeless leadership. It is a call to arms for leaders at every level to engage with their journey in a way that promises not just a future but a legacy of growth, resilience, and intentional action.
Together, we will impact 1 MILLION lives!!!
Every day is a gift; don't waste yours!

In this powerful episode of Tales of Leadership, I sit down with Jake Larson—affectionately known as “Papa Jake”—a 102-year-old World War II veteran and national treasure whose story has captivated millions across the world.
Born during the Great Depression and raised on a farm in rural Minnesota, Jake’s journey took him from poverty to the front lines of history. At just 15 years old, he joined the National Guard by lying about his age. That bold decision would place him on the path to help plan the D-Day invasion as part of G3 Operations. Armed with a skill most overlooked—typing—Jake was responsible for processing the very orders that sent thousands of men onto Omaha Beach, including himself.
