This week, Angie and Emily welcome Meg Miller, LDAP Program Manager and Leadership Instructor at Echelon Front!

Meg discussed her background as a collegiate athlete at Duke and how the principles of Extreme Ownership can help sports teams, corporations, and women like you communicate more effectively and level up in all ways.

She talked about the importance of clear and concise communication, even when it's difficult, and how building relationships helps you to have tough conversations that strengthen rather than break down rapport. These lessons aren't just for the board room or the playing field, but your everyday life too!

Meg also shared her perspective on the idea of "discipline equals freedom"—how it applies to her health and fitness and the balance between detachment and processing emotions.

Angie, Emily, and Meg also covered the "BLUFF" communication technique and the advice for women to go for the things they want.
