In this episode of Built Different, Shakur Smith breaks down how most people follow because leading exposes who they really are and they are afraid to lead.
We dive into the mindset shift that separates people who wait… from people who move. You’ll learn why leadership has nothing to do with titles, and everything to do with identity, responsibility, and the willingness to walk alone when you have to with God.
We talk about:
Why following feels safe but keeps you stuck.
How real leadership begins with who you choose to become.
The difference between needing direction and creating direction.
Why God calls you to lead with conviction, not comfort
The cost of leading vs. the cost of staying the same.
Practical steps to step into your role as a leader today.
This episode will challenge you, confront you, and call you higher.
If you’re tired of blending in — this one’s for you.
It’s time to stop following… and start leading.
