Unmasking Pride: Chad Veach on Humility's Transformative Power

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome Chad Veach, a powerhouse in leadership and author of the thought-provoking book, "I Bet You Think This Book is About You." Join us as we dive deep into a topic that's often avoided but immensely transformative – the impact of pride and the power of humility. Chad and I explore how incentives shape culture and discuss his inspiring goal to incentivize humility. We delve into personal stories and powerful anecdotes that expose the facade of pride and arrogance, revealing their corrosive effects on both personal and professional lives. You’ll hear Chad’s wisdom on the traits of genuinely humble individuals and the importance of acknowledging compliments without succumbing to false humility. We also ponder the societal pressures that reward prideful behavior and how to find peace and contentment through an inner scoreboard, rather than external validation. From the humbling effects of miracles to the profound insights on confidence and self-identity, this episode is packed with revelations that will challenge you to confront your own pride and embrace a more authentic, humble path. We even share a few laughs over pickleball and the quirks of staying positive in competitive environments. Tune in for a candid and enriching conversation that promises to inspire you to reflect deeply on your journey toward true humility.   About Chad, Chad Veach is the founder and lead pastor of Zoe Church, a dynamic community in the heart of Los Angeles, California.
