You Go First: How Leadership Begins With You

What does it mean to lead with courage, authenticity, and impact? In You Go First, Lain Hensley invites listeners to explore the heart of leadership—not as a title, but as a choice. Whether you're guiding a team, mentoring a peer, or simply showing up for someone in need, leadership begins when you go first.

This podcast is more than inspiration—it's a call to action. Each episode of You Go First shares stories, insights, and practical tools to help you lead with purpose. Lain draws from decades of experience with Odyssey Teams, where transformational programs have helped thousands of people step into leadership by going first.

Why “You Go First” Matters

• Initiative: Taking the first step, even when it’s uncomfortable
• Empathy: Listening deeply and responding with heart
• Service: Putting others first without losing yourself
• Courage: Speaking up, showing up, and standing tall

When you go first, you create space for others to follow. You model vulnerability, strength, and trust. That ripple effect is what turns moments into movements.

• Reignite your passion
