In this episode, Nathan revisits one of Brian Schubring's earliest blog posts, "Lead From Where You Are," written in 2012. The wisdom in this post is simple but powerful: meaningful influence doesn’t always come from formal leadership roles or big platforms. Instead, it often happens in quiet, everyday moments of relationship and presence.

Nathan connects these reflections to themes found in Unfolded: Lessons in Transformation from an Origami Crane, the new book by Dr. Linda and Brian Schubring. Just as the character OC learns that flight begins with small, playful steps, leaders are reminded that transformation starts not with the destination, but with paying attention to the here and now.

Whether you’re leading a team, a classroom, or your own family, this episode will remind you that you don’t need to be “in charge” to make an impact. You just need to show up.

Reflection Questions:

  • What’s one small, unnoticed moment today where you could show up more fully?
  • Who around you could use your attention, presence, or support?
  • Are you focused more on outcomes than the process? What would it look like to shift your focus?
  • What dream or goal are you holding onto? How might your next step be smaller—and closer—than you think?
