On this episode of One Part Lion, One Part Lamb, Stephen sits down with Lucas Sherraden, pastor turned real estate leader turned author of The Uncaged Leader, to unpack the hidden programming running underneath every decision we make.

What does it actually cost to win at work while slowly losing everything that matters most? I've been sitting with that question since this conversation ended. My guest today, Josh Kosnick, was at the absolute peak of his career, leading a firm of 250 people, hitting every metric, checking every box, and in one morning at a Marriott, it was gone. A fabricated lawsuit from someone he mentored. A company he loved that chose the easy way out. And a drive home where he had to pull over and fall apart in a parking lot because his whole world had just collapsed. But here's what got me. It wasn't...
