Your Limitless Leadership Podcast

How Elite Financial Teams are Actually Built

Most leaders are doing this backwards. It's costing them talent, culture, and long-term growth. In this episode, Brent sits down with a Mike Reisel who has built something rare. Over the years the people he has brought on a, 70% of the advisors are still standing in an industry where most don't make it. The difference? He doesn't chase numbers, he builds people. This conversation breaks down what actually works when it comes to recruiting, developing, and keeping high-level talent. From being brutally honest in the interview process, to setting higher standards than anyone else, to only bringing in people you'd trust with your own money. The real shift is this: leadership is not about controlling people, it's about creating an environment where the right people thrive, and the wrong people filter out BEFORE you hire them. You'll hear how confidence, daily habits, and a commitment to doing things the right way (not the easy way) completely changes the game. If you're a leader tired of turnover, inconsistency, or feeling like you're constantly chasing the next hire, this episode will hit home.

Lead Yourself First

This episode hits on something a lot of leaders do not want to hear, but need to. Brent and Jenny use a weekend at a Luke Combs concert to unpack a bigger truth: the little choices are not little. They shape your discipline, your confidence, your energy, and the way people experience you. From packing their own food instead of grabbing junk on the road, to talking honestly about fitness, self-respect, consistency, and the standards you live by. This conversation is a direct challenge to leaders who want results without the habits to support them. It is not really about weight. It is about ownership. It is about whether your daily choices match the kind of leader you say you want to be. This one is not all hard truth. It is also a reminder that leadership shows up in everyday moments. A stranger speaking up when something was wrong, a young couple taking responsibility for someone else's mistake, someone offering help when they did not have to, and people doing the right thing when no one would have blamed them for staying quiet. This episode will make you think harder about how you lead, how you respond, and what kind of example you are setting for your team, your family, and yourself.

What Real Leadership Looks Like When Nobody's Watching

Most people think leadership is about authority, confidence, and having the answers. This conversation proves it's about something much deeper. If you lead people, own a business, or want to become the kind of leader others actually trust and follow, this one will hit you. In this episode of Your Limitless Leadership, Brent sits down with Luke Sodergren for a real, grounded conversation on what leadership actually looks like behind the scenes. From a small-town Iowa upbringing and elite-level music training to building multiple staffing businesses, Luke shares how discipline, repetition, and obsession with the craft shaped the leader he is today. It's lived experience. They talk about what it really means to lead through people, not just results. The challenge of developing others instead of doing it yourself. Why understanding your people, how they think, what drives them and what they need is the difference between average leadership and exceptional leadership. They also go deeper into the realities most leaders don't talk about, pressure, responsibility, burnout and the truth that nobody will care about your business like you do. But instead of avoiding it, Luke leans into it. He talks about servant leadership, accountability, playing the long game, and why leadership is a craft that takes time, patience, and relentless effort. If you're looking for quick hacks, this isn't it. But if you want to become the kind of leader who builds people, earns trust, and creates something that lasts. This is one you need to listen to. 👉 Find more episodes, coaching, and leadership resources at DNAcall.com [https://DNAcall.com] 🔗 Connect with Your Limitless Coach Ready to take your leadership, performance, and income to the next level? 👉 Book a complimentary call with us at dnacall.com [https://dnacall.com] Follow Brent & Jenny for daily leadership, mindset, and coaching insights: 📲 Instagram: @brentwidman [https://instagram.com/brentwidman] | @jennymariewidman [https://instagram.com/jennymariewidman] | @yourlimitlesscoach [https://instagram.com/yourlimitlesscoach] LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/brentwidman [https://linkedin.com/in/brentwidman] | linkedin.com/in/jennywidman [https://linkedin.com/in/jennywidman]

Stop "Showing Up" and Start Building a Network That Pays

Networking isn't "working the room." It's relationship-building with a purpose — and if you've ever sat in a parking lot talking yourself out of walking into an event (BNI, Chamber, happy hour… any of it), this episode will hit you right between the eyes. Brent shares that exact moment, and Stacey breaks down why most people feel awkward: they're going in with no plan, no goal, and no strategy… then calling networking a "waste of time." In this conversation, you'll learn simple scripts to enter a group without feeling weird, how to stop "hunting" for business and start creating real value, and why follow-up is the make-or-break skill that separates people who network a lot from people who get results. If you're a leader, business owner, or producer who wants better opportunities, better partnerships, and better rooms—don't skip this one.
