Why Silence, Suffering, and Faith Shape Great Leaders w/Robert DeLaurentis

Описание: What happens when success no longer satisfies—and you realize there’s more you’re being called to?



In this powerful episode of The Cory Lee Show, Cory sits down with Robert DeLaurentiis, known around the world as The Peace Pilot—an aviation circumnavigator, Navy Gulf War veteran, author, philanthropist, and global ambassador for peace. Robert has flown solo across all seven continents, over both poles, through 53 countries, carrying scientific missions for NASA and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography—yet his greatest journey has been an inward one.



Robert shares the moment everything shifted: a quiet walk in a park that awakened him to the reality that achievement without awareness can leave you disconnected from purpose. From that moment, he began listening—deeply—and what followed was a life marked by radical obedience, faith-filled risk, and an unwavering commitment to something bigger than himself.



Throughout the conversation, Cory and Robert explore:




•


How to recognize when God is stirring something new within you




•


Why silence, stillness, and listening are essential for clarity and direction




•


The connection between faith, persistence, and resilience




•


What endurance—whether in business, life, or extreme adventures—reveals about who we’re becoming




•


Why giving more is often the key to receiving more




•


How failure, suffering, and discomfort shape us for future impact




•


Practical wisdom for getting off the sidelines when fear or finances feel like barriers






Robert also recounts harrowing moments from his polar circumnavigation—fuel spraying into the cockpit, life-or-death decisions, and the realization that the mission mattered more than his own safety. These stories become profound metaphors for leadership, sacrifice, and trusting God in uncertainty.



This episode is a reminder that you were created for more than comfort, that faith often requires movement, and that the most meaningful breakthroughs happen when we’re willing to listen—and then act.



If you’ve ever felt a quiet nudge, wrestled with fear, or questioned whether it’s worth taking the risk…this conversation is for you.CONNECT WITH ROBERT
