Join Bobby and Bridge as they dive into the world of emotional intelligence (EQ) and uncover its complexities. From the origins of EQ to its impact on leadership
and corporate culture, they explore how EQ can be both a powerful tool and a potential weapon. Whether it's leaders who thrive despite low EQ or the rise of "dark empaths" who use their emotional savvy for manipulation, we

September 10, 2024 Being critical of criticism
Hmmmmm…that moment when you wonder if you should have had a Guest for this topic. A leader who is professional in their handling of criticism rather than Bobby and Bridge’s approach which entails going bright red, potentially yelling “f*ck off” or disappearing for a good old teenage sulk!! Seriously…should these two really be let loose on such a topic!
Well, the answer is YES. Come and have a listen to these two feisty leaders being incredibly honest about their relationship with unsolicited feedback (in other words, criticism) and how their approaches have morphed (or not on occasion) as they have grown in self-awareness, self-reflection and self-assurance.

August 20, 2024 Hanging out with Yin and Yang
In this episode of "Guest with Gifts," Bobby and Bridge connect with some more of their most dedicated listeners. Bobby is joined by Sarah and Nicole, two exceptional managers who kept her almost sane during the dark days of COVID, bringing camaraderie, chuckles, and a lot of hard work. Sarah and Nicole are the ultimate doers. They describe themselves as Planners, but their “get sh*t done” attitude sets them apart. Though different in style, approach, and learning, their camaraderie and now strong friendship shine through in this conversation. Tune in to hear how these massive supporters feel like every episode is recorded just for them. And if you know the long fancy word Bobby used in an early episode, please get in touch!
