In this episode of The Better Leadership Team Show, I sit down with executive coach and author Marc A. Wolfe, whose book Yeah, But: Cut Through the Noise to Live, Learn and Lead Better helps leaders and teams dismantle the excuses that hold them back.

We talk about why “yeah, but” thinking kills innovation, how to transform pushback into clarity, and how the best leadership teams replace excuses with curiosity and collaboration. Marc shares stories from his eclectic journey—from photographing U.S. presidents to coaching Fortune 500 leaders—and reveals how great teams build cultures that question intelligently, act decisively, and lead with empathy.

If you’ve ever said “Yeah, but…” to an opportunity, this episode is your invitation to move from hesitation to action.
