About this listen

In this episode of That’s Pure Leadership, host Chris DenHerder explores the messy, powerful, and necessary path of staying true to yourself—especially when the pressure to perform, conform, or please is louder than your own voice.


From early-career fears of rejection to the transformative year of “unschooling” that helped rebuild his confidence, Chris reflects on the moments that helped him stop toning it down and start showing up fully. He shares how chasing authenticity led to better relationships, unexpected opportunities, and even the courage to say “I’m not for you” when values didn’t align.


This episode is a reminder that you won’t be for everyone—and that’s exactly the point. Because when you go where you’re celebrated, not just tolerated, that’s when the real growth begins.
