Show Notes
What did leadership actually give us — beyond rank, titles, and responsibility?
And what did it quietly take?
In 🎙️ Season 2, Episode 25 of Four Titles, One Truth, Tommie Jones II and Lance Taylor reflect on what decades of leadership in the U.S. Army produced in their lives — internally, relationally, and personally.
This isn’t about leadership theory.
It’s about lived experience.
In this episode, we unpack:
• The emotional weight of being “the one in charge”
• How leadership shaped our marriages and fatherhood
• The difference between authority and influence
• Identity after the uniform came off
• Lessons we didn’t fully understand until years later
We’re not telling anyone how to lead.
We’re sharing what leadership did to us and what we learned from it.Whether you relate, disagree, or see it differently, that’s the conversation.
Four Titles, One Truth is a real-talk podcast for Black men navigating life as fathers, husbands, veterans, and men building community through truth, growth, and shared experience.
Let’s keep the conversation going.
