Leadership gets the spotlight—but followership is the unsung force that drives real impact.

In this conversation with Jim Matuga, we explore what it truly means to be an effective follower and why great followership is just as critical as great leadership.

Discover how responsible, engaged followers help shape stronger teams, healthier organizations, and more successful outcomes—and why it’s time we elevate the role of those who choose to lead from within.

Tune in to hear Jim’s thoughts on:

  • Your book is called Humble Influence. What inspired you to write it—and why now?
  • You say influence isn’t just for people in leadership roles. Can you explain what you mean by that—and why followership matters so much today?
  • What are some of the biggest misconceptions people have about what it means to be a follower?
  • In a practical sense, how can someone become a more effective follower in their workplace, church, or community?
  • Can you share a powerful story from the book that illustrates the idea of humble influence in action?
  • How has writing this book changed the way you see leadership, influence, or your own role as a business owner?
  • And much, much more!
