Michael Brody-Waite on Leadership and Recovery: Insights from the 217 Recovery Podcast

I think a lot of people say your bottom is when you stop digging, and that was something that I had to learn... we in recovery have an incredible skill in learning how to surrender an outcome. And so we're really good at surrendering what we can't control and doubling down on what we can control once we really understand recovery, because that's what we need to do to live and as a result we have a competitive advantage over other business people in the world, because they never had to learn that skill.
Ever wondered how the skills honed in addiction recovery can translate into effective leadership? In this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, Corey Winfield welcomes Michael Brody-Waite, a public speaker, author, and TED Talk presenter, to explore this fascinating connection. Michael shares his journey from addiction to success, emphasizing how surrendering control and embracing vulnerability have been key to his achievements.
He talks about his book 'Great Leaders Live Like Drug Addicts' and how the principles of recovery can offer a competitive edge in the business world. The conversation covers making amends, self-leadership, and the importance of identity in recovery. Michael's insights provide a fresh perspective on how the challenges faced in addiction can become strengths in leadership.
Whether you're in recovery or looking to improve your leadership skills, this episode offers valuable takeaways that apply to both personal growth and professional development.
