Skot Waldron shares how business leaders can transform their company culture by focusing on intentional leadership and internal brand development before external marketing. He explains that effective culture-building creates environments where people feel valued and motivated from within rather than being micromanaged.

• The distinction between managing people versus leading them—people want to be led, not managed
• How company culture is "the air you're breathing" and exists whether you're intentionally cultivating it or not
• Small businesses often "get the shaft" from marketing agencies selling superficial solutions without strategic foundations
• Replacing employees costs 1.5-2.5 times their salary, making culture investment financially sound
• The importance of intentional mentorship programs for retaining younger generations
• "Don't light fires under people, light them inside them" as a leadership philosophy
• Skot's book "Unlocked" provides a 52-week framework for developing intentional leadership
• Every interaction creates either a "brand deposit" or "brand withdrawal" with your team
• Leaders should consider how people will think and talk about them 20 years in the future
