Ep8: Breaking Free From The Blame/Shift/Trap
Description
In this no-fluff episode of the Cultureproof Podcast, Sam Gembel drops a leadership truth bomb: It’s not the economy. It’s not the employees. It’s you!
If you're stuck in cycles of frustration, venting on social media, blaming the market or your team - it's time for a gut check. Sam dives deep into the most common traps leaders fall into: The blame game, the lowballer excuse, and the “nobody wants to work” narrative.
You’ll learn how to shift from victim to victor, rebuild a mindset rooted in ownership, and create a company culture that top talent wants to be part of.
The episode wraps with a bold call to action - one that will challenge you to look in the mirror and ask: Where am I shifting blame when I should be taking ownership?
Because the truth is simple: You can blame or you can build - but you can’t do both.
Get those notepads ready!
