What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to the show!

Today, we’re diving into something every leader, entrepreneur, and business owner needs to hear—your results live on the other side of the hard conversations.

Whether it's managing underperformance, shifting your culture, or making tough decisions about your team, growth happens in the moments we try to avoid.

Joining me today are Eric Guy and Kenny Blakeslee, and we break down:

✅ Why avoiding hard conversations costs you results

✅ The emotional toll of leadership—and how to manage it

✅ Accountability vs. results: how to lead with both care and clarity

✅ How great leaders balance relationships and tough decisions

✅ The power of honest feedback, culture, and vision in growing a winning team

We also dig into the difference between effort and outcome, the challenge of scaling a team without losing culture, and why leaders must model accountability first. 

🔥 CHALLENGE: What’s the conversation you’ve been avoiding? Today, commit to having it—and lead your people with honesty and purpose.
