Leadership Isn’t About Managing—It’s About Coaching Micromanaging doesn’t build strong teams—it builds frustration. If you’ve ever felt the urge to oversee every detail or step in before your team has a chance to figure things out, you’re not alone.

"Trust your team enough to let them surprise you." What’s the best leadership advice you’ve ever received? Let’s share and grow together—drop it in the comments! ??

For too long, leadership has been measured by productivity, efficiency, and external success. But true leadership, the kind that inspires, heals, and creates a lasting impact, is rooted in right relationship. In today’s episode of The UpLevel Podcast, we embark on a journey beyond modern distractions and back to ancient wisdom. Our guest, Kale Ka’alekahi, a spiritual activist and cultural innovator, shares his powerful personal journey through diverse ancestral lineages. He is the Founder of First Wave Indigenous Ministry, President of Makoa Quest 501c3, and Director of New Old Way Academy (A Regenerative Cultural School). Together, we explore how shifting from extraction-oriented mindsets to community-centered living can transform how we lead, connect, and show up in the world. We would also like to invite you to Maui Mana, May 14-18, 2025, for his 5-day immersive experience for men, women, and couples who want to deepen their connection with self, nature, and spirit.

When we’re stuck in a fast-paced, hyper-productive culture, it can be easy to lose sight of connection, reciprocity, and the wisdom of those who came before us. But what if the key to better leadership, deeper healing, and real transformation isn’t about doing more but remembering more? This week on The UpLevel Podcast, we had the honor of speaking with Kale Ka’alekahi, a spiritual activist, ceremonialist, and cultural innovator who brings a profound perspective on: –The role of ceremony in modern leadership—how small, intentional rituals create lasting impact – How men’s work is a critical path forward, so healing and accountability go hand in hand – Honoring ancestral wisdom in a disconnected world—what reclaiming our roots means ?We invite you to join us for a powerful conversation on reviving right relationship, deeply rooted in our lineage, for the future of leadership, healing, and human connection.
