How To Spot If Your Boss Is Toxic & Surviving The Modern Workplace | Ben Askins
Description
Ben Askins didn’t expect his next big chapter to come from LinkedIn posts, but it did. After selling his first business in 2021 and being locked out of new ventures during his earnout, he turned his focus to storytelling online. One post about a bad recruitment experience went viral, sparking a flood of stories from employees around the world and revealing a universal truth: bad bosses are everywhere.
In this episode, Ben shares what he’s learned from more than 200,000 workplace stories, why most managers are “accidental,” and the practical lessons every leader can apply to build stronger, happier, and more productive teams. From early mistakes in leadership to the strategies that really drive culture, his journey shows how honesty, clarity, and self-awareness can transform both businesses and people.
It’s a candid conversation about management done right, and the hidden cost when it’s done badly.
