This week on In The Growth Space, David is joined by Christian Muntean—advisor to owners, executives, and boards, and the founder of Vantage Consulting. Christian has helped small and mid-sized companies drive over $500 million in top-line growth, all while expanding margins and giving leaders back their time and freedom. Christian is also the author of Train to Lead, a practical, field-tested 90-day leadership development program inspired by the principles of athletic training.

In this episode, David and Christian discuss:

• The inspiration behind Train to Lead and how it blends athletic training principles—like periodization, conditioning, strength, endurance, power, and recovery—with leadership development
• Common challenges faced by both new and experienced leaders—and practical ways to overcome them
• How to mitigate burnout by adjusting pacing in the workplace, and why simply “pushing through” doesn’t lead to sustainable success
• How leaders can build daily routines and use self-assessment as a tool for long-term growth and continuous improvement

This week on In The Growth Space, David welcomes back leadership expert and returning guest Jeff Hancher. From serving in the U.S. Army, to climbing through ten promotions at a Fortune 500 company, Jeff’s journey is one of grit, growth, and leadership in action. In this conversation, Jeff also gives us a preview of his upcoming book, which centers on one of the most critical (and often overlooked) leadership skills: giving effective workplace feedback.

In this episode, David and Jeff explore:

• How Jeff’s leadership journey began and the pivotal role mentors played in shaping his path.
• Practical strategies for navigating tough workplace conversations with clarity and confidence.
• A breakdown of expectations, feedback, and accountability—why most leaders excel at only one or two, and how to strengthen all three.
• The framework for giving effective feedback, and why tactile, people-focused leadership makes all the difference.

Jeff’s book, Firm Feedback in a Fragile World: How to Build a Winning Culture with Critical Conversations releases June 17th. Preorder it here!
