EP 2: Thursday Thoughts: Identity, Insecurity & Honest Leadership
Off Script with Josh Fisher: A Leadership Podcast For People Who Don’t Like Leadership Podcast
Off Script with Josh Fisher: A Leadership Podcast for People who don’t like Leadership Podcasts. This isn’t another leadership podcast wrapped in corporate buzzwords and performance coaching. Off Script is a raw, human take on what it actually means to lead—especially when the old rules no longer apply. Hosted by Marine Corps veteran turned leadership coach, Josh Fisher, each episode dives into the messy truths behind leadership, identity, and reinvention. We unpack the myths, call out the performance traps, and explore the real-life lessons behind courage, connection, and clarity. Whether you’re a leader in transition, a coach doing the work, or simply someone who’s tired of “playing the part,” this podcast gives you permission to lead from presence—not perfection. It’s time to stop performing leadership—and start practicing it.

In this first episode of Off Script with Josh Fisher, we strip leadership down to its bones—no polish, no performance, just the raw truth. I dive into why I started this podcast, the deep disconnect so many leaders feel behind the mask, and how perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and societal expectations keep us from leading with real presence. You’ll hear parts of my story, the doubts I’ve carried, and why I believe the perception of leadership—not leadership itself—is what’s broken. This episode sets the stage for what’s to come: honest conversations, unfiltered reflections, and a return to human-centered leadership. If you've ever felt like you're faking it while leading, this one’s for you.
