When your values aren’t clear, it’s easy to chase the wrong deals, hire the wrong people, and build a life and business that drains you.

Today, I sit down with Robert Glazer—entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of Acceleration Partners—to explore how defining your personal core values can transform the way you lead, invest, and live.

Robert built a $35M global company serving brands like Airbnb, Uber, and Adidas, but his greatest success came from understanding what he valued most, and aligning every decision around it.

In his new book, The Compass Within, Robert reveals how your personal core values act as a decision-making compass for both business and life. We unpack how to use that same framework to hire the right people, choose the right investors, and build a life of freedom that truly aligns with who you are.

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

1.) Why really company culture starts with core values — and how defining what you stand for (and what you don’t) helps you attract the right people and repel the wrong ones.

2.) What Robert learned from his own private-equity exit—how he structured the deal, picked the right partner, and avoided the mistakes most founders make.

3.) How your personal values can help you invest smarter—filtering founders, partners, and deals that align with your principles, not just your profit goals.
