VISIONARY STORM | Be Vulnerable to Become Unshakable | Recognize Your Own Disfunction | Chad Brignac

Author: Brett Snodgrass & Michael Stansbury June 13, 2025 Duration: 42:31

Chad Brignac had a 3 decade career working on multi-million dollar projects in construction. He's led teams as big as 150 people. As a business owner, he's had a lot of success on professional projects, but he was a failure outside of work.


Chad was very unapproachable. Nobody from work wanted to be around him. He had strained family relationships. The worst part was, as bad as things got, Chad still didn't understand he was the primary cause of the dysfunction in his life. He was completely closed up, and he couldn't recognize his own faults.


Chad finally had a wake up call, and he finally became self-aware. He realized he needed to become vulnerable in order to have a pathway to success. Before, there was too much fear in Chad's life to be vulnerable, and he viewed vulnerability as a weakness. But after Chad had insight into who he was in Christ, chad was able to be broken down, so he could be built up, in the right way.


Now, instead of fear dictating Chad's life and causing destruction, his confidence in his identity in Christ has made him much more unshakeable. Not only has Chad's family life greatly improved as he's rebuilt great relationships with his children, but he's carried much of this into his purpose and calling in life and business.


Chad has written the book "Visionary Storm," where he helps business owners and leaders become more self-aware and vulnerable, so they can become better leaders and more fulfilled people. He teaches leaders the fruitfulness of maximizing influence and minimizing authority to have greater impact.


Listen to Brett and Chad discuss how to become better leaders at work and at home.
