The Renegade Journal
The Renegade Journal isn’t another list of “best practices.”
It’s a space to call out the systems that keep leaders stuck, to name what’s real, and to challenge you to carve a path that fits your organization — not the playbook you were handed.
Not polished theory. Not binders on shelves. Just what’s real — tested in practice, not polished in theory.
If you’re ready to stop repeating what doesn’t work, dive in. Read on, question boldly, and take what’s real for you.
