At The Root of It: Expectations with Kevin

Beneath every habit, conflict, and decision is a root system—beliefs, incentives, stories, and emotions quietly shaping what we do. At the Root of It is a conversation series that follows those roots all the way down, then back up with insight you can actually use.
Each episode begins with a single prompt—“What’s at the root of ___?” (trust, burnout, belonging, change, boundaries, ambition…)—and closes with a clear reflection: “At the root of it is ___.” Along the way, guests share lived experiences, we translate research into plain language, and we pause for the kind of questions that build emotional intelligence.
Expect grounded conversations, practical takeaways you can try this week, and a calm, reflective vibe. If you’re curious, values-driven, and ready to see what’s really moving you and your teams, this show is for you.
