Failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s the price of admission.

In my latest article, I reflect on my own mistakes on the soccer field, in the boardroom, and leading a nonprofit, and how effective leadership requires creating a culture where failure is embraced as a step toward growth.

When your team makes a mistake, do you berate and blame, or do you ask the questions that foster growth?

Head over to my Substack, Conviction and Clarity, to read the full post and join the conversation!

Leading in the North can feel like a lonely road—but it doesn’t have to be. 🌲💡

When you’re an Executive Director or senior leader in Northern Minnesota, you’re navigating unique geographical, resource, and organizational realities. The weight at the top is real, but growth doesn't happen in a silo.

Here are 5 reasons why northern leaders need a strong peer cohort—and what changes when you have one:

You Stop Solving Problems Alone: Instead of guessing through complex operational or board issues, you get real-time feedback and tested strategies from leaders facing the exact same local realities.

You Gain Sharp Focus: Daily operational noise makes it easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. Dedicated peer time gives you the space to step back, refine your strategy, and keep key goals moving forward.

You Prevent Burnout: Isolation is one of the biggest drivers of leader turnover. Connecting deeply with peers who truly understand your day-to-day reality restores your confidence and energy.

You Save Valuable Resources: Tapping into peer advisory and collective wisdom gives you immediate, practical solutions—saving your organization thousands on outside consulting fees.

You Build Lasting Regional Networks: Collaborative relationships across the North unlock shared resources, cross-organizational partnerships, and long-term regional impact.

The Leading the North Executive Director Peer Cohort is designed to give you this exact space. To ensure deep engagement, trust, and tailored focus, this cohort is strictly limited to 5 leaders.

⏳ Early Bird Rate Available Now: Save on registration by securing your spot early before the 5 seats fill up.

“Brandon just likes to stay in his office.”

Oof. Hearing that feedback from a volunteer years ago stuck with me. While it wasn't entirely true, it was their perception—and it pointed to a real trap many of us fall into: prioritizing admin tasks over getting out to connect and explore.

In my new article, Getting Out of the Office to Gain Insight, I dive into what it means to "exercise outsight" as a leader, how my 6-year-old inspires me to find adventure in routine tasks, and why stepping away from the desk is vital for new ideas.

Check out the post and let me know: How do you keep routine tasks from getting monotonous?

You can find it on Substack under "Conviction and Clarity."
