Welcome to another episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business. Today, host Jennifer Glass sits down with Jessper Maquindang, owner of Family Lead Management Consulting, to dive deep into the true essence of leadership—what it means, how it’s defined, and how anyone can unlock their inner leader.

Together, they explore Jesper’s journey from dreaming of being a leader as a young child to managing teams, pursuing a master's in leadership, and championing the philosophy of servant leadership. Jessper shares how inspiring change and motivating people starts with finding purpose and building connections, even in a world full of resistance to change.

Whether you see yourself as a leader or a follower, this episode challenges you to rethink what success means to you, how you can make a difference, and how your own journey shapes the legacy you’ll leave behind.
