Armor is the new epidemic

High achievers show up to work wrapped in invisible armor—built to protect from fear and failure. But that same armor is weighing you down and holding you back.

The biggest barriers to success aren’t external. It’s the armor we carry:

  • GET IT RIGHT

    “I can't afford to make mistakes.”

    58% of employees feel their managers do not tolerate small-scale failures.

  • PROVE YOURSELF

    “When I achieve more, I'll finally feel good enough.”

    71% of CEOs experience imposter syndrome—despite their success.

  • NEVER BE WEAK

    “If I show any weakness, they'll stop trusting me.”

    39% of employees believe their leaders don’t practice what they preach.

  • KEEP THEM HAPPY

    “If I say no, I'll let people down.”

    Nearly 50% of leaders struggle to identify priorities due to being overwhelmed by frequent disruptions.

That armor is heavy — you can go further & faster without it. Let me show you how.

Hi, I’m Julio.

And I wore heavy armor for years. 

I led teams at Apple, Google, Tumblr, Airbnb, and Lyft—helping launch products like iPad, Google Drive, and Self-Driving Cars. On paper, I was winning.

But perfectionism, proving, and performing come at a cost. In 2018, I hit a wall—and realized real leadership isn’t about armor. It’s about courage.

Now, I teach thousands of leaders The Technology of Courage™—a framework to break free from fear-based habits and lead with heart.
