🎙 Episode Overview

The problem this speaker solves in one sentence:
Teams fail when they misunderstand each other across departments.

In this episode of The Secret Reason Teams Don’t Understand Each Other, we bring on John Taylor McEntire of Mutual Prosperity to share his Sync Method—a revolutionary way to decode and align communication across different teams. He shows how to remove barriers caused by culture, generational gaps, and language differences so everyone can work in sync.

John opens with a story of a team divided by miscommunication—departments speaking different languages without knowing it. The Sync Method is born from that gap.

By the end, you’ll understand how to decode hidden communication styles, unify your team’s voice, and unlock mutual prosperity—where purpose meets performance. Practical takeaways include templates John uses with clients and real‑world examples from companies he’s helped.
