Welcome to the first episode of Direct Application, a leadership podcast and vlog hosted by Matt Harrington - author, speaker, facilitator, and founder of Harrington Brands.

This launch episode lays the foundation for what Direct Application is all about: turning leadership ideas into real, actionable tools. Because leadership shouldn’t just inspire - it should work.

In this episode, Matt shares the story behind the podcast and outlines what listeners can expect moving forward. He explores how the intersection of head and heart can shape better leaders and stronger teams.

You’ll also learn about the two show formats:

• Interview Episodes with thought leaders, HR professionals, and changemakers, focused on what’s working in real-world leadership

• Solo BlogCasts, short episodes drawn from Matt’s weekly blog, packed with quick insights for immediate application
