This conversation is rooted in something concrete: Straight-Line Leadership’s outdoor training, a leadership exercise that Straight-Line members go through once a year. What emerges that weekend—in a “personal presence” drill at 3:00 a.m., in a wall exercise that no one quite gets right, and in the feedback that follows—is what this episode is built around.
In this episode, Mandy van der Put and Johan van der Put candidly share what really happens when reason creeps into your life: how it disguises itself as common sense, when it becomes dangerous, and why it takes on a different dimension for leaders than it does for you as an individual.
This episode bridges the gap between knowing and doing, and traces every pattern of inaction back to the same root cause: not a lack of information, but a lack of courage, discipline, and commitment.
In October 2025, Mandy van der Put fell in her barn. This resulted in a skull fracture, a serious brain injury, a hospital stay, and months of recovery. But today, she’s back to her old self. In this episode, Johan and Mandy candidly share what really happens when everything is taken away from you all at once. When your body no longer functions, and you have to hand over your position as leader of the organization you built entirely on your own to someone else.
Procrastination is rarely called “procrastination.” We call it waiting for the right moment. We call it “I’m worried.” We call it “I need to understand it first.” In this episode of the Straight-Line Podcast, Kristof and Johan peel back four of those masks and show that “now” isn’t a spot on the calendar, but a mindset.
