Obsessed with personality tests? (Me too.)

SurePeople is flipping the script on assessments by making psychometric insights accessible, ongoing, and practical—built for real work, in real time. 

In this episode, I chat with Russ Mikowski, CEO of SurePeople, about how they’re democratizing self-awareness, infusing AI into career coaching, and building a small but mighty team that embraces transparency, flexibility, and fun.

💡 What you’ll learn:

• How SurePeople's PRISM assessment is reshaping how companies understand (and apply) personality data
• Why sales is the career skill everyone should master—even if you're not in sales
• What startup leadership looks like in a remote-first, AI-fueled world
• How SurePeople includes families in its culture-building strategy
• The difference between “disagree and commit” and healthy dissent in decision-making
• How to get free access to your own AI-powered work coach at SureCoach.ai
