Episode Summary

In today’s episode of “Walter’s Diary,” we dive into the first major team issue before the team is even fully formed. Walter shares a hilarious and frustrating story about a “glass half empty” guy who bypasses direct communication channels, causing a cascade of unnecessary drama. With a dash of Ted Lasso’s positivity and a pinch of Charles Bukowski’s salty language, Walter recounts his unexpected Friday afternoon chaos and his plan to address it head-on with a good ol’ Feedback Talk. Tune in to hear how Walter handles the situation with a mix of humor, empathy, and directness.
