#22 - Expansion Without Erosion: How Champions Grow Without Losing Themselves
About This Episode
2026 isn’t about doing more, it’s about carrying more without losing who you are. In this anchor episode of Champion Blueprint, George Rogers and Gary Brackett tackle a critical leadership tension: growth without self-destruction. As leaders pursue new revenue streams, AI opportunities, and expanded influence, many are paying hidden costs, burnout, identity drift, strained relationships, and declining health. This episode introduces the Champion Expansion Framework, a blueprint for sustainable growth built on identity clarity, strength-based expansion, reinforced habits, and intentional guardrails. Because real success isn’t about adding more. It’s about building the capacity to carry more, without erosion. If you’re scaling in 2026, this conversation is your filter. #LeadershipGrowth #HighPerformanceLeadership #ExecutiveLeadership #Entrepreneurship2026 #ChampionBlueprint #SustainableSuccess #AIandLeadership Learn more about your ad choices.
