In this episode of the Spinoso Podcast, Amanda and I kick things off with a little fun—trying to come up with a nickname for her that doesn't sound like we're in crisis mode ("Mayday" is definitely off the table). But from there, we get into something I was seriously fired up about: a conversation I had with a clinic owner in Houston who was struggling to get her team motivated. She said her biggest headache was "her people," not because they were bad, but because she couldn't get them to buy in. And I get it—it's a problem a lot of business owners face, but one that stems from something deeper: a lack of mission, vision, and culture.

We dive into what it really takes to build a culture that drives performance. Spoiler alert: it's not about ping pong tables or bonuses—it's about values. I talk about how Genesis was built on "Dig Deep and Act with Integrity," and how we hire, fire, and bonus based on those values. We touch on everything from John Maxwell's advice ("Don't send pigeons to flight school") to my own take on what it means to build great people, not just find them. And yes, I get into what happens when you try to fix culture problems with money alone—hint: it never works.

Whether you've got one clinic or fifteen, if you're struggling with team alignment, this episode is your blueprint. Amanda and I talk about systems, incentives, leadership habits, and how we created Genesis University to train our people the right way. We also share tactical ideas, like peer-led learning and core value nominations, to spark buy-in across your team. If you want a team that's not just showing up but fired up—this one's for you. Oh, and don't forget—DM us your vote on Amanda's nickname. Keep it G-rated, savages.
