In this powerful episode of Battle Ready, host Ricky Chavez sits down with Ryan Herpin, co-founder and managing partner of Impact Strategies & Consulting, for an honest and grounded conversation about leadership, uncertainty, and the pressure many leaders feel to appear perfect. With more than a decade of experience helping organizations optimize operations, increase profitability, and build resilient leadership teams, Ryan offers a refreshing, human centered approach to leading in complex environments.
Ryan shares his experience of being placed into leadership roles early in his career and the imposter syndrome that followed. Rather than pretending to have all the answers, he explains how curiosity, self-awareness, and humility became essential tools for earning trust and creating alignment within teams. The discussion highlights why the strongest leaders listen to understand not just to respond—and how asking the right questions often unlocks better solutions than giving directives.
