532. Dare Greatly to Lead Your Practice to Success

Jesse Green dives deep into one of the most powerful drivers of practice growth: personal leadership. At a time when it’s easy to blame the economy, external events, or staff challenges, Jesse challenges practice owners to take full responsibility for their outcomes - and shows how doing so can create profound momentum in business and life. Drawing inspiration from Theodore Roosevelt’s Man in the Arena and the principles of his D.A.R.E. framework, Jesse unpacks how Determination, Acceptance, Responsibility, and Experience form the foundation of ownership. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with your results, this episode is a timely call to action — to own your ship, step into the arena, and lead with purpose.
