John Hulen built his work around a connection most leaders overlook: how unresolved issues at home directly impact performance at work.

In this conversation with Kurt Luidhardt, John walks through his path from ministry to entrepreneurship, including a failed startup and a divorce that forced him to confront how he handled relationships.

That reality shows up inside companies where employees disengage, call in sick (when they’re not), and operate below their capacity because problems at home remain unaddressed.

The shift comes from treating relationship skills–especially vulnerability–as something that can be learned and practiced rather than avoided.

Today John works with men and early stage entrepreneurs to build those skills at home first, changing how they show up in leadership and eliminating hidden costs inside their business.
