Written By Rocky Garza

Welcome to The Rocky Garza Show, where I explore the truths that shape extraordinary leaders. Today, I’m diving into the tension between conviction and curiosity—two ideas that often seem at odds but, when held together, can provide the clarity we’re all seeking.

Key highlights from this episode:

  • Conviction and curiosity aren’t opposites—they work best together.

  • My need to be right is often rooted in my need for validation.

  • Great leadership means being both confident and open to help.
