Through the Storm

Leading people well is tough, even in the best of times, but what do we do when it gets really, really tough? How do we as leaders respond to adversity in a healthy and productive way? How can we continue to succeed in business and in life through the storms of leading well? You know, when dangerous storms have begun to brew over the horizon, most herd animals and even humans have a tendency to take cover or move away from the storm, but not the buffalo. The buffalo, instead of running for cover, will gather its herd, take a few last bites of whatever food is out there, and head directly through the storm. As leaders, we have to do the same thing. We're all faced with different storms that come with leading well. Modern-day leaders face leadership storms that can cripple an individual, a team, or an entire organization. Our guests are resilient leaders, some of the best resilient leaders our country has to offer. They'll walk us through how they actually got through these storms and how they became better on the other side. So join us on the Through the Storm podcast.

Welcome to “Through the Storm,” where resilience and facing adversity head-on takes center stage. If you were to look up the word in the dictionary, you might just find a picture of Charmeachealle Moore, known affectionately as Mike Moore. His life story reads like a testament to unwavering determination and perseverance. Mike is a former Linebacker for the Los Angeles Chargers, cancer survivor, and community advocate.

Bio:

Mike Moore is a survivor in every sense — from battling brain tumors to championing mental health as a certified first aid responder. His journey includes a stint in the NFL, where he showcased not only athletic prowess but also resilience in the face of adversity. A devoted husband and father of five, Mike is also a member of the 6% club, having navigated a divorce just days before his draft, only to remarry later in 2020.

Since retiring from professional sports in 2019, Mike Moore has dedicated himself to a noble cause: creating supportive pathways for fellow athletes transitioning into life after the game. Through his initiative, these athletes find purpose in education and community service, making profound economic and social impacts wherever they go.

Mike’s latest mission with The Hero’s Project aims to transform American schools into safe havens, rebuilding the village support system that COVID-19 disrupted. His goal is nothing short of covering every school in the nation, ensuring every child has the environment they need to thrive.

Join us as we delve into Mike Moore’s journey, discovering how resilience, compassion, and a relentless pursuit of bettering our communities define his life’s work.
