Ep. 69 – Easter & Passover: 7 Leadership Lessons on Growth
In this special episode of Pillar Talk, Chris steps outside his comfort zone to reflect on two powerful and deeply meaningful holidays—Easter and Passover—and the leadership and growth lessons we can draw from both.
While not a religious person, Chris shares his respect for the principles and rituals that shape both the Christian and Jewish traditions. What ties both holidays together? Stories of sacrifice, transformation, and bold leadership under pressure.
He outlines 7 growth-focused lessons that resonate just as powerfully in the boardroom as they do in the Bible:
- Freedom starts with awareness – You can’t grow if you don’t recognize what’s keeping you stuck.
- Breakthrough requires bold action – Progress takes courage, even when the outcome is uncertain.
- Growth is a journey – Transformation doesn’t happen in a moment. It’s messy, non-linear, and demands commitment.
- Faith in the unknown – Great leadership is doing the right thing even when results aren’t guaranteed.
- Legacy is built on story – Like religion, leadership must be anchored in narrative and passed on with purpose.
- Letting go is required – Growth means releasing ego, control, and the need to be liked.
- Growth demands sacrifice – The trade for real impact is comfort. And it’s worth it.
This episode isn’t about religion—it’s about learning from powerful traditions to become better leaders and people.
If you’re focused on personal growth and leadership that lasts, you won’t want to miss this one.
