52 - Who You Become Under Pressure | The Leadership Test No One Can Fake  
Podcast: Impact with Eddie Wilson
Published On: Tue Mar 10 2026
Description: In Episode 52, Eddie Wilson pulls a powerful leadership framework from C.S. Lewis (The Abolition of Man) and uses it to expose what most people miss: the problem usually isn’t skill, it’s substance. Eddie breaks down three types of people that show up in leadership, business, relationships, and faith and why most leadership failures can be traced back to which “type” is driving the decisions. This episode isn’t another tactics talk. It’s a mirror. It will make you ask: Who shows up when pressure hits? And what is that “version of you” building over time an empire, an ego system, or something that outlives you? TIMESTAMPS:00:51 — C.S.
