Surrender to Change: Finding Gain in Loss

What if the biggest thing standing between you and your next chapter isn't change... it's the version of yourself you're afraid to leave behind? In this episode of Coffee & Grit, Jason sits down with leadership coach and EOS Implementer Dave Feidner for a powerful conversation about identity, leadership, and what it really takes to grow. Together, they unpack one of the biggest misconceptions about change: people don't resist change. They resist loss. Whether it's letting go of a title, leaving the home where you raised your family, stepping out of a leadership role, or rewriting the story you've been telling yourself for years, every meaningful next chapter requires you to release something before you can fully embrace what's next. Drawing from decades of leadership experience and his own personal journey, Dave shares practical wisdom that will challenge the way you think about growth, trust, vulnerability, and the stories that shape your life. In this episode you'll discover: • Why people resist loss, not change • How identity can quietly limit your growth • The leadership power of surrender • The Change Equation that drives lasting transformation • Why vulnerability creates stronger teams • How your words shape your future • Why your unique ability is your greatest contribution If you're leading a business, navigating a major life transition, or feeling called into a new season, this conversation is a reminder that growth isn't about becoming someone else. It's about having the courage to let go of who you've been so you can become who you're meant to be. Because sometimes the greatest obstacle to your future is your loyalty to your past.
