**🔥Show Notes🗒** **What happens when success stops being about what you accomplish and starts being about who you lift up? Varsity Squad, I had an incredible conversation with my good friend Chip…
Chip WebsterGuestAnd our really quick coaching knowledge nugget this week, squad, is if your leadership doesn't include service, it's not leadership, it's ego in disguise.

He shifted into impact, founding Unity in Service, a movement focused on bringing people together through action, not talk, rebuilding trust through service and real civic engagement.
He's also the author of Unity in Service, which I have a book giveaway, so stick around to the end and I will again do...
