You might have heard the phrase ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast.’ But how many leaders are actually willing to prove it when there is serious money on the line?

My guest today, Tony Gareri, believes that if you aren’t hiring and firing by those values, they simply aren’t real.

Tony is the CEO at Roma Moulding and a man I’ve known for a decade now. He took a 40-year-old manufacturing business during the global financial crisis and completely reinvented it by focusing on one thing: Culture.

In this conversation, Tony takes us behind the scenes of what it really takes to build a high-performing team.

We break down his culture based hiring process that ensures the team only hires the best. We talk about why he believes success is largely defined by what you are willing to tolerate, and he shares his personal philosophy on ‘living life backwards’ to maximize every moment.

If you lead a team, run a business, or just want to raise your own standards, this conversation is a masterclass.

We often look at high performers and assume they’re simply wired differently; that they don’t feel fear, doubt, or the urge to quit when things get hard.

But my guest today proves that being unstoppable isn’t about being fearless. It’s about making a decision to keep going despite the fear being there.

I’m sitting down with Alex Weber, an award-winning speaker, acclaimed author, and the only person to ever go from hosting NBC’s American Ninja Warrior to competing on the show.

In this episode, we go deep into the messy, gritty reality of what it actually takes to bounce back.

We talk about the concept of “quit or commit” that plays a vital role in your success, how to cultivate unwavering self-belief when you feel like an imposter, and the specific conversation you need to have with yourself to turn your biggest setbacks into your greatest comebacks.

Alex brings an infectious energy and a level of honesty that is truly refreshing. If you’re ready to dismantle your fears and discover what you’re really capable of, this conversation is for you.

Millions of students across the US and the world are currently unable to read at or above grade level.

We are witnessing a massive disconnect between a 100 year old industrial education model and the actual needs of our children.

But what if we knew exactly why this was the case and had a blueprint for how to solve it?

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Caprice Young, a transformational education leader and the CEO and Superintendent of Navigator Schools.

With more than 20 years of experience in public education, Caprice is a former president of the Los Angeles School Board, and in this essential conversation, we explore the powerful framework that has enabled her schools to consistently achieve student scores three to six times as high as their neighbors.

If you are a parent, a teacher, or someone who is ready to apply a highly successful model of transformation to secure the future for our children, this episode is a must-listen.
