#13 Serving Others for the Long Haul – Doug Duncan

In this episode of Leading Lubbock, I sit down with Doug Duncan, leader of the Duncan Realty Group, husband, father, and someone I’ve admired for years. Doug opens up about his leadership journey—from stepping into leadership at 27 with a “me-first” mindset to learning that true leadership is about helping others win. We talk about his team’s $43 million year, the lessons from starting a business during COVID, and how his faith transformed his approach to leadership.

Doug gets candid about the pressures leaders carry, the importance of staying motivated, and how the small, consistent actions over time make the biggest impact. We explore the balance between certainty and teachability, how to lead with humility, and the powerful legacy left by his father.

You’ll hear practical advice on leading your team, how to avoid burnout, and why serving others for the rest of your life might be the ultimate leadership mantra. Whether you lead a business, a family, or just want to grow in your influence, this conversation will inspire you to lead with purpose, consistency, and heart.
