What if the missing ingredient in your leadership playbook is simply being real? In this episode, I talk to sales leader Andrew Metz about how vulnerability on LinkedIn, relentless front-line experience, and small-scale intimacy tactics (think lunches, micro Q&As, mentor pairings) turn average teams into high-performing ones. Andrew shares repeatable ways to build trust, scale connection, and grow leaders from the inside out. Get ready to learn new ways of showing up as a leader. In This Episode You Will Learn WHY showing vulnerability on LinkedIn creates recruitment and retention advantages. HOW to scale intimacy when you manage 20 or 100 people (small groups, lunches, live Q&As). SIMPLE ways to build confidence in new sellers (mentors, catch them doing something good). HOW to reframe imposter syndrome and use failure as a stepping stone. PRACTICAL rituals that changed a leader’s life (running, quitting alcohol, small daily habits).

You’ve heard people say “just be grateful” a million times, but what happens when life is falling apart, you’re in real pain, and that kind of gratitude feels fake? In this episode, I sit down with USA Today’s “Gratitude Guru” Chris Schembra to talk about a completely different and honest approach to gratitude, one that doesn’t ignore your hardest moments, but starts with them. Chris shares how producing hit campaigns, dining with world-class leaders, and hosting intimate, high-end dinners still left him feeling lonely and anxious. Get ready to rethink what gratitude really is, stop pretending everything is “fine,” and start using your hard times as a bridge to deeper confidence, connection, and purpose. In This Episode You Will Learn Why the usual “good vibes only” gratitude advice actually keeps you stuck. How one question around a dinner table has made thousands of people open up and connect. How to turn your hardest memories into a source of meaning, empathy, and power. What stoicism really teaches about pain, obstacles, and emotional resilience. Ways to move from rumination and despair into appreciation and agency.
