What if the leaders who help us grow aren't the ones who make us comfortable but the ones who care enough to challenge us?

In this episode, Yogi Mueller, founder of Craft Leadership and author of The Great Slapping, shares how an unexpected journey from professional comedy to leadership development shaped his approach to mentoring people and building stronger teams. Drawing on more than twenty-five years of experience with organizations like Disney and Hilton, Yogi explains why productive friction, honest feedback, and courageous conversations are essential ingredients for growth.

We talk about mentorship, accountability, burnout, culture, the G.R.I.T. Index, and why confidence often comes after action—not before it.
