The Humility Advantage
The Humility Advantage
Less Ego - More Impact
What if the secret to stronger leadership, deeper influence, and lasting peace wasn’t more confidence—but more humility?
Hosted by J. Alexander—former Marine, healthcare executive, and leadership coach—The Humility Advantage dives beneath the surface of success to explore what truly drives authentic leadership. Through real stories, neuroscience-backed insights, and unfiltered conversations with healthcare and business leaders, you’ll learn how to overcome imposter syndrome, master emotional intelligence, and lead with power that doesn’t depend on ego.
Each episode blends science, soul, and strategy to help you face the inner battles that hold you back and rediscover the strength that comes from humility. Whether you’re leading a team, a company, or just trying to lead yourself better, this show will challenge the way you think about greatness.
Because the world doesn’t need more impressive leaders—it needs more humble ones.
