Calling, Culture, and Running Your Own Race with Dana Gentry Roach

Season 1 · Episode 12

Wednesday, May 27, 2026 • Duration 55:08

In this episode of the Leadership That Shines Podcast, Natalie Davis sits down with Dana Gentry Roach, USA Today bestselling author, 20-year real estate veteran, multi-market center owner and operator, and Senior Culture Advisor for Keller Williams Realty. Dana's story is one of the most honest leadership journeys you will hear: from spray tanning strangers at the University of Kentucky to becoming one of the most trusted voices on culture, calling, and what it actually takes to build a life that compounds.

Dana did not set out to lead. She set out to sell. What changed everything was a moment at a microphone in a room full of 500 Keller Williams agents when a mentor she had never met asked her one question that exposed the ceiling she had been building for herself. From that moment forward, Dana has been in the business of staying in rooms that stretch her, following the Four Cs model before she knew it had a name, and leading from a place of realness over rightness.

In This Episode:

Dan Sullivan's Four Cs model: why commitment comes before credentials, capabilities, and confidence, and why every leader who has ever jumped before they were ready has been living this model
The power of proximity and why getting into the right rooms, and staying in them, has compounded Dana's leadership, wealth, and relationships over two decades
Why companies with strong cultures raise their bottom line by 756% according to the most recent Harvard study, and what that means for every leader building a team right now
The one question that transformed Dana and her husband Adam's marriage and applies directly to how leaders show up for their teams: do you want me to fix it or feel it?
How Dana went from winging everything to hitting number 14 on the USA Today bestseller list with her debut book, Restore: 90 Days of Intentional Living

Dana also shares what it means to be the person who figured out how to stay in the rooms, why people leave leaders before they leave companies, and what Craig Groeschel's line, people would rather follow a leader that's real than a leader that's right, has meant to how she leads every day.

Losing It All and Leading From Brokenness with Nicole Rueth

Season 1 · Episode 8

Saturday, May 23, 2026 • Duration 57:23

Faith-led leadership is not a softer way to lead. For Nicole Rueth, it is the only thing that rebuilt her after losing everything.

In this episode of the Leadership That Shines Podcast, Natalie Davis sits down with Nicole Rueth, top mortgage lender, real estate investor with 60 doors and two commercial buildings, and one of the most honest voices on what it takes to lead through total collapse and come out with more clarity than you had before.

Nicole built her career from the ground up. Raised by a single mom who modeled grit as survival, Nicole climbed from bookkeeping to producing 400 million dollars in mortgage volume. Then, in one of the most turbulent periods in real estate history, she got fired twice in one week, lost her team, lost her brother in a freak accident, and had to face the question every high-performing leader eventually has to answer: if my worth is not in my volume, then who am I?

What she found on the other side of that question is the foundation of everything she now teaches.

In This Episode:

Why tying your self-worth to your production volume is the most dangerous thing a leader can do, and what Nicole rebuilt her identity on after losing both
The three-step leadership framework Nicole now runs her team, her business, and her life through: mindset, action, and give back
How the emotional economy is shifting and why leaders who lead with empathy and connection are outperforming leaders who still lead with data and volume
The morning routine Nicole runs starting at 3 a.m. that sets the foundation for every decision she makes as a leader and a lender
Why saying no to more things is how Nicole went from grinding at 400 million in volume to building something she actually wants to lead

Nicole also shares the quote inside her Bible that drives everything, why she wants to leave it all on the field, and what that phrase means now compared to what it meant when she was sprinting.

Service, Accountability, and Showing Up as Who You Are

Season 1 · Episode 10

Wednesday, May 13, 2026 • Duration 45:57

Authentic leadership does not come from a title, a certificate, or a checklist. It comes from knowing who you are, owning that fully, and showing up in service of others without shrinking.

In this episode, Natalie Davis sits down with Jodi Wright — U.S. Navy veteran, case manager, community advocate, author, and MPH candidate at UNC Gillings — for an honest conversation about what it means to lead from your core, no post-nominals required.

Jodi has spent her life giving back. From military service to probationary case management to a Safe Roads, Safer Communities initiative launching in Pennants Lane, Virginia, her leadership is not theoretical. It is lived, daily, in the spaces most people overlook. She is also releasing her debut book, Belle Haven — a deeply personal work about awakening, healing, and stepping into who you are meant to be. What makes this conversation stand out is Jodi's unflinching clarity on accountability. In her work with individuals navigating real consequences, she holds a judgment-free space and asks a simple, direct question: who are you, and how do you plan to move forward? That same standard applies to every leader listening.

In This Episode:

● Why Jodi believes you do not need post-nominals to lead and the hill she will die on

● What Belle Haven is about, who it is for, and why Jodi pulled it back from publication before it was ready

● The accountability conversation that Jodi facilitates in her classes and why it is always the first step

● How she manages a full life across military service, graduate school, community work, authorship, and motherhood — held together, in her words, with duct tape

● How Jodi wants to be remembered as a leader — and the lane she is creating for others to follow

Jodi closes with a message every leader needs to hear: the table is not a four-by-four. It is endless. Grab your chair, fold it out, and take a seat.

Leadership Legacy: The One Thread That Connected Every Guest

Season 1 · Episode 8

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 • Duration 26:47

Leadership legacy is not built from titles, products, or platforms. The leaders who have walked through the doors of the Leadership That Shines Podcast so far have made that undeniably clear.

In this solo reflection episode, host Natalie Davis pauses to celebrate a milestone, over 5,000 downloads from the first few episodes, and does something more important: she pulls back to examine what the guests have actually been teaching us. Across four conversations with Jim Carlough, Savio P. Clemente, Justin Knoll, and Nicole Johnston, the same qualities and themes keep surfacing. Not because the guests coordinated. Because great leadership runs on the same foundation regardless of the industry, the title, or the story.

Natalie walks through the themes she has identified, shares her own honest reflections on self-sabotage, solitude, and showing up, and reveals the one question she now asks every guest at the close of every episode, and the answer that keeps stopping her cold.

In This Episode:

The difference between builders and operators, and why knowing which one you are changes everything about how you lead
Why your old operating system will not carry you into the next version of your leadership, and what Savio P. Clemente's 29 days in a hospital room taught us about rebuilding
How Nicole Johnston's framework for self-sabotage made Natalie identify the exact moments she has gotten in her own way
The one thread that connected all four legacy answers, and why not a single guest mentioned what they built, their title, or what they left behind
What impact, influence, and growth actually look like when they are lived out by real leaders in real circumstances

This episode is for every leader who has been paying attention and wants to know what it all means.

Leadership Visibility: How Women Stop Being Overlooked and Start Getting Promoted

Season 1 · Episode 8

Wednesday, April 29, 2026 • Duration 52:58

Episode 8

Leadership visibility is one of the most misunderstood skills in a woman's career, and Nicole Johnston has spent 30 years figuring out exactly why.

Nicole Johnston is a women's excellence and leadership speaker, TEDx speaker, bestselling author of Taboo Topics, and a certified coach who spent three decades in consumer products at companies like Procter and Gamble, Kimberly Clark, and Hershey Foods. She was often the only female sales leader in the room. What she saw there shaped everything she now teaches.

In this episode, Natalie Davis and Nicole Johnston go deep on the real reasons women get passed over for promotions, underpaid without knowing it, and burned out before they ever get the recognition they have earned. This is not a surface-level conversation. It is a direct, data-backed, and actionable look at the patterns holding women back and what to do about them.

In This Episode:

Why promotions are based on the perception of leadership potential, not task completion, and why that distinction changes everything about how you show up at work.

The 720 hours per year of invisible, non-promotable work women carry at home and in the office, and why it is directly connected to burnout and career stagnation.

How to identify your self-sabotaging behaviors and use role play, journaling, and audio recording to build the muscle memory for difficult conversations before you ever have them in real life.

The difference between a coach, a mentor, and a sponsor, and why women who do not build sponsorship relationships are consistently left out of the rooms where decisions get made.

Executive communication skills that shift how leadership sees you, including what clear, concise, and compelling looks like in practice and why women are socialized to communicate as doers, not leaders.

Nicole Johnston's book, Taboo Topics: Things Women Should Talk About But Don't, is available now. Each chapter addresses a real workplace challenge with practical next steps, including email templates for asking for a raise and tools for identifying the mental load you carry.

Integrity in Leadership: Jim Carlough on the Six Pillars That Build Unshakeable Teams

Season 1 · Episode 7

Wednesday, April 22, 2026 • Duration 01:03:53

Integrity in leadership is the center pillar. Without it, everything else collapses. In this episode of the Leadership That Shines Podcast, Natalie Davis sits down with Jim Carlough, leadership identity archetype, author, mentor, and speaker, for a direct, practical conversation about the six pillars that define how great leaders build loyal, high-performing teams.

Jim has spent over four decades in healthcare and leadership. He has mentored professionals for 25 years. His book, a 164-page, no-theory leadership roadmap built entirely from lived experience, is earning near-perfect ratings on Goodreads and Amazon from readers in countries across six continents. His workshops are helping accidental managers, founders, and executives reduce voluntary attrition and build the kind of psychological safety that makes people want to stay.

In This Episode:

Why most organizations create accidental managers, and what that costs them within 18 to 24 months
The six non-negotiable leadership pillars: integrity, compassion, empathy, stability, focus, and humor
The question Jim has asked himself every night since 1983, and why it has kept his voluntary attrition rate below 5%
How to tell the difference between compassion and empathy, and why a leader has to know when to use each
Why humor is not a soft skill but a strategic tool that humanizes leaders and builds psychological safety

Jim's framework is not theory. Every story in this episode is real, every principle is tested, and every one of the six pillars is something a leader can start applying within 14 days.

Adaptive Resilience in Leadership: Savio P. Clemente on What Comes After the Crisis

Season 1 · Episode 6

Wednesday, April 15, 2026 • Duration 51:53

Episode 6

Adaptive resilience in leadership is not about surviving the crisis. The real test begins the moment the crisis ends, and your old operating system no longer works.

In this episode of the Leadership That Shines Podcast, Natalie Davis sits down with Savio P. Clemente, TEDx speaker, bestselling author, board-certified wellness coach, and two-time cancer survivor, for a conversation about what it means to lead through adversity, reclaim your identity on the other side, and build the kind of resilience that goes beyond recovery.

Savio has interviewed over 2,500 thought leaders, executives, and changemakers in the fields of human behavior, resilience, and leadership. His work sits at the intersection of lived experience and research-backed frameworks. After 29 days in the hospital following a relapse of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2024, Savio emerged with a deeper understanding of self-regulation, metacognition, and what it means to lead when everything around you has changed.

In This Episode:

Why most leaders lose ground after a crisis, not during it, and what to do about it
The difference between resilience and adaptive resilience, and why the distinction changes how you lead
Savio's Aloha Reboot framework, a seven-minute practice for reconnecting with yourself under pressure
How metacognition, the thinking of your thinking, gives leaders a psychological edge in high-stakes situations
Why silence and stillness are not soft skills; they are performance tools for leaders at every level

This conversation is for leaders who have made it through something hard and are still figuring out who they are on the other side. Savio brings both the research and the receipts.

Leading With Impact: Justin Knoll on Trust, Building Great Teams, and Knowing When to Walk Away

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 • Duration 50:23

Episode 5

Leadership impact is built in the small, repeated moments. In this episode of the Leadership That Shines Podcast, host Natalie Davis sits down with Justin Knoll, fourth generation REALTOR, former brokerage leader, co-founder of a real estate tech startup, and one of the most respected leadership voices in the Colorado real estate industry. What starts as a conversation about real estate quickly becomes one of the most honest leadership training conversations this show has delivered.

Justin brings 26 years of leadership experience across corporate and independent brokerage environments, a framework for building trust that helped his organization win top workplace awards five consecutive years, and a deeply personal story about recognizing when the thing you built is no longer the thing that fills you.

In this episode you will learn:

The three pillars Justin used to build award-winning workplace culture: safety, full potential, and vision, and how to apply them to any team or organization regardless of size or industry
Why "fine" is one of the most telling words a leader can hear from their team and what to do the moment you hear it
The builder versus operator distinction that every leader needs to understand about themselves before they burn out doing the wrong job well
How Justin coaches leaders through self-sabotage using the most disarming and effective question in leadership: what are you willing to let go of
Why you cannot want someone's growth more than they want it for themselves and how to lead with that understanding without losing your own energy in the process
What "fail cheap and fail fast" looks like in a real estate leadership context and why narrow focus is the most underused leadership strategy in business today
How getting your hands in the dirt, literally, gave Justin the grounding and clarity to find his next chapter and why every leader needs a version of that reset
The legacy question every leader should ask themselves: do the people who know you best respect you the most
