#93 - The Leader Doesn’t Get To Complain

Episode 93: The Leader Doesn’t Get to Complain

Host: Martin Lopez | Human Performance Mastery Podcast

When things get messy, do you lead — or complain?

In this eye-opening episode, Martin Lopez breaks down the heart of what true leadership really means… and it’s not about titles or being “ready.” It’s about stepping up when life gets inconvenient, uncomfortable, or downright stinky — like when your friend’s dog gets sprayed by a skunk. 🦨💥

Through a hilarious yet powerful real-life story, Martin invites you to examine your own moments of avoidance. Are you taking ownership of what’s really yours — your business, your mindset, your relationships? Or are you still circling the chaos, hoping someone else will handle it?

This episode will challenge you to stop waiting, stop blaming, and stop complaining.
Because when it’s yours — you don’t get to complain. You get to lead.

🔑 Topics Covered:

• Why true leadership starts with ownership

• How your energy shifts when you take responsibility

• Recognizing your “skunk-spray moments” and leaning in

• Practical mindset shifts for high-performance leadership

🎧 Listen now and get inspired to clean up, show up, and lead — even when it stinks.
