In this episode of Keep The Change, I sit down with someone who’s not just a mentor, not just a friend—but the man who shaped my entire view on leadership, business, and what it truly means to love people through your work: Euse Mita.

Euse isn’t just leading companies—he’s creating movements. With five businesses, five kids, and seventeen grandkids, he’s still running circles around most of us—and doing it all with heart. This episode dives deep into what real leadership looks like, the mission behind meaningful culture, and why most businesses fall flat when they forget the “why.”

Here’s a glimpse of what we talk about:

• The difference between “head-based” leadership and leading from the heart (and why most mission statements miss the mark)
• How dishwashers, valets, and CEOs can all embody the same love-centered culture
• The 3 questions every leader should ask if they really mean business
• Why culture—not capital—is your greatest asset (and how to build one that lasts)
• Why "work" should feel more like a vocation, and why that mindset shift changes everything
• The power of “each one teach one” and why love is the strongest business principle of all

We also talk about faith, family, failure, and legacy in a way that’s raw, real, and inspiring. Euse opens up about lessons from building Half A Car, his vision for hospitality as ministry, and why you don’t need more strategy—you need more soul.

In this episode, my guest is Adam Holbrook from Maxwell Leadership—an entrepreneur who built and sold two companies, and someone who knows firsthand what it means to lead others after learning how to lead himself.

We talk about the side of leadership that doesn’t show up on spreadsheets—like what to do when you’re working 90 hours a week, miserable, and pretending everything's fine. Adam shares how emotional intelligence helped him go from burnout and self-destruction to peace and purpose. He opens up about how delaying your emotions, releasing blame, and letting go of the need for an apology can shift not just your leadership, but your entire life.

We also dive into:

• What separates great salespeople from real leaders
• The personal habits that affect your professional culture
• How to grow your emotional intelligence (and why it matters more than IQ)
• How small mindset shifts can help you handle conflict and lead with clarity

This episode is full of honest stories, practical takeaways, and tools you can apply whether you lead a dealership, a team, or your own household. If you're tired of the noise and just want real talk about what it takes to be better—for your people and for yourself—this is one to listen to from start to finish.

In this episode, my guest is Matt Lewis from Lewis Automotive, and we’re picking up where we left off. This is Part Two of our conversation, where we dive deeper into how Matt’s leadership philosophy drives real results, but we also open up about the hurdles, the growing pains, and the mindset shifts that come with scaling a family business.

Matt doesn’t sugarcoat it—he talks about what worked, what didn’t, and why letting go of control might just be the next level for your business.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why focusing on your employees first is the key to a great customer experience.
• The leadership mistakes that hold businesses back from scaling.
• How to create a work environment people don’t want to leave—even when they get a job offer down the road.
• The mindset shift leaders need to move from “doing” to truly empowering.
• Why managing your emotions is one of the most underrated leadership skills.
• And what endurance sports can teach us about mental toughness, problem-solving, and leading when things don’t go as planned.

We also get personal about faith, purpose, and the real reason Matt does what he does. It’s one of those conversations that hits both the head and the heart.

This is part two of our chat, if you missed part one, make sure you go back and catch it.
