Before Soles4Souls, Buddy held executive roles in business and nonprofit organizations, including the National Association of Local Advertisers and Executive Business Services (EBS). In this episode… Major decisions often arise when the path forward is unclear — when the numbers don't add up, the pressure mounts, and leadership is tested. In those moments, performance depends less on having perfect answers and more on having the courage to face reality and rebuild with intention. How can leaders push through uncertainty and turn a struggling organization into something sustainable? According to purpose-driven leader Buddy Teaster, the first step is radical transparency: focusing on actual cash flow, telling the truth about challenges, and creating systems that keep everyone aligned.

He recommends digging past the surface by asking targeted questions and resisting the urge to fix what hasn't been fully defined.

The interplay of intuition, empathy, and analysis can shape how leaders make choices and view opportunities. What can leaders learn from someone who finds clarity by moving through complexity rather than escaping it? Early experiences taught brand strategist Aimee Romero to translate messy, unstructured input into patterns, a skill that later sharpened inside an agency where she saw firsthand how misaligned decisions could quietly undermine a client's success. That moment became a catalyst, pushing her toward a more intentional, strategy-driven approach. Through micro-decisions, intuitive breakthroughs, and embracing friction as a creative engine, Aimee maintains that clarity comes from questioning everything until your "why" emerges. In this episode of The Decision, Robert Hartline and Eric Jackson sit down with Aimee Romero, Founder and CEO of Love and Science, to discuss how intuition and analysis shape entrepreneurial decisions.
