What if avoiding conflict is actually what’s keeping you stuck?

In this quick hit of A2B Real Talk, David goes all in on a question that might just change the way you lead, relate, and show up: Are you a peacemaker... or just a peacekeeper?

He shares a raw behind-the-scenes story about a high-stakes meeting filled with unspoken tension, and how everything could've crumbled if he’d chosen comfort over courage.

This one’s all about ditching fake harmony and stepping into the kind of bold, honest leadership that actually gets results. If you’ve ever swallowed the truth to “keep the peace,” this one’s for you. 💥
