In this episode of Morning Coffee and Mimosas, we dive into one of the most powerful forces shaping every workplace: business culture. From the everyday “vibes” that define how teams communicate to the subtle red flags that signal deeper issues, we unpack what culture really looks like in action. Culture is “the shared personality of an organization… that guides how employees interact, work, and make decisions”.

You’ll hear candid stories, practical insights, and real-world examples of how trust, transparency, accountability, and recognition can transform a team. We explore why people need to feel safe speaking up, how leaders can create visibility for their employees, and why phrases like “that’s just how we do things here” are culture killers in disguise.

Whether you're leading a team, joining a new organization, or simply trying to make 2026 a more positive year for the people around you, this conversation will leave you inspired to take action—because as the hosts remind us, everyone has the power to influence culture in meaningful ways.

Pour a cup, pop a mimosa, and join us for a thoughtful, energizing conversation about building workplaces people actually look forward to.

Have you ever gone through a day unsure of what you actually accomplished? Have you ever felt like your time was constantly hijacked by other people’s priorities? 

In this episode, we dig into actionable tactics to help cut through the clutter and start accomplishing all you set out to do. 

We talk through the concept of the signal-to-noise ratio and the importance of first understanding what your signal is and next adopting habits that allow you to cut out as much noise as possible. 

Listen and laugh with us as we cut through our own noise in the “studio” and deliver the signal you all come back for.
