"Lighting the Wick of Leadership" with Jove Stickel (E151)

Jove Stickel climbed the leadership ladder in education...from teacher and coach to principal. But along the way, he learned a powerful lesson: you can’t effectively lead others if you’ve stopped leading yourself.

At one point, Jove weighed over 600 pounds. His health was suffering, and he had lost himself in serving others. A heart issue became a defining moment. He looked in the mirror and decided it was time to change.

What followed was an incredible journey...1,000+ consecutive days of running, more than 300 pounds lost, and a complete transformation of his habits, health, and leadership.

His journey became the foundation for his forthcoming book and leadership philosophy, WICK:

W — Work Hard
I — Act with Integrity
C — Committed
K — Kind

Jove’s story is a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t just about reaching the top of the mountain. It’s about having the courage to pause, refocus, and make sure you’re still taking care of the person climbing it.

This is an honest, inspiring, and incredibly powerful conversation about leadership, health, purpose, and the journey to becoming the best version of yourself.
