Podcasts about leadership failure

The damage from your Q1 goal doesn't show up until Q3, on someone else's dashboard, after the person who flagged it got fired.Part 2 of the Outcome Trap series. Brian and Om argue why you can't see the trap from inside it: second-order effects land too late to trace, the people who spot trouble get removed, and the truth fractures across team dashboards until nobody owns the whole picture. By the end you'll have questions to ask before any number you set quietly destroys the business.Listen or watch as we discuss and debate:Why Goodhart's Law turns every new leading indicator into another surface to gameHow Sears split into 40 competing units and imploded while every department hit its OKRsThe Wells Fargo whistleblower fired for 'tardiness' eight days after calling the ethics hotlineWhy Deming's 1986 warning to eliminate numerical goals got ignored for forty yearsTwo questions to ask before setting any targetIf you've ever been in a company where every conceivable metric was green while the business slowly bleed out, this podcast is for you!.#OKRs #Deming #GoodhartsLawW.

The conviction of former SNP Chief Executive Peter Murrell has sent shockwaves through Scottish politics and raised serious questions about financial oversight, leadership responsibility and public trust.In this episode of Crime Time Inc., former detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine the embezzlement case that dominated headlines across Scotland. Drawing on decades of investigative experience, they explore how breaches of trust develop, why embezzlement often goes undetected for years, and what warning signs organisations frequently miss.Tom and Simon compare the SNP case with real investigations from their policing careers, including thefts involving trusted employees, family-run businesses and compulsive offenders whose behaviour defied logic. They discuss the difference between crimes driven by need, greed and psychological compulsion, and analyse the extraordinary purchasing patterns revealed during the investigation.The conversation also turns to leadership accountability, internal financial controls, governance failures and the responsibilities of those entrusted with managing large organisations and public donations.In the second half of the episode, the hosts address the tragic rise in child and teenage drowning deaths across the UK. They discuss water safety, cold water shock, risk-taking behaviour among young people, and whether schools and parents are doing enough to prepare children for everyday dangers.A thought-provoking discussion on crime, trust, responsibility and the lessons that organisations and families ignore at their peril.The discussion also examines the wider implications of Operation Branchform, the investigation into Scottish National Party finances, and the questions raised about oversight during the leadership of Nicola Sturgeon. Drawing on their experience as former detectives, Tom Wood and Simon McLean provide insight into how fraud investigations develop, why financial controls fail, and what lessons organisations can learn from high-profile cases. The episode concludes with an important discussion on water safety, drowning prevention and the risks of cold water immersion.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the SNP Embezzlement Case01:20 How Embezzlement Typically Begins05:44 A Detective's Real-Life £74,000 Theft Investigation09:40 Need, Greed and Compulsive Theft16:37 The Strange Psychology of Criminal Behaviour18:45 Comparing Major Financial Crime Cases21:14 Leadership Accountability and Governance Failures23:58 Water Safety and Preventable Tragedies25:46 Why Young People Are Most at Risk28:13 The Green Cross Code and Safety LessonsAbout Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

Watch this insightful reflection on King Saul by Fr. Sandeep Menezes, C.Ss.R., which presents a powerful case study on the dangers and pitfalls of leadership. The video traces Saul's journey from a humble, God-chosen leader to a tragic figure whose reign unraveled due to deep internal flaws.Fr. Sandeep identifies five key predictors of leadership failure: reluctance to lead, the pursuit of success at any cost, shifting blame, resenting those who offer correction or dissent, and prioritizing personal power over divine mission. Through these reflections, the video offers timeless spiritual and practical lessons on humility, accountability, and integrity in leadership.Ultimately, Saul's downfall is contrasted with the example of Christ, the true model of humble and faithful leadership. Delve into this thought-provoking episode to deepen your understanding of leadership shaped by faith. 

Send us Fan MailPoor leadership is becoming one of the biggest reasons Gen Z and millennials are losing trust in the workplace. Inconsistent communication, lack of accountability, performative leadership, favoritism, empty promises, and disconnected management styles are creating frustration across modern workplace culture.In this episode, Dr. Jason Wiggins breaks down how poor leadership damages workplace trust and why younger professionals are paying closer attention to leadership behavior than ever before. From leaders who avoid accountability to managers who communicate one thing publicly and operate differently behind closed doors, this episode explores why trust in leadership is declining across today's workforce.We discuss how Gen Z and millennials view leadership differently, why transparency and consistency matter more than corporate messaging, and how poor leadership weakens employee trust, workplace culture, communication, morale, and long term organizational performance.Using lessons from Enron and modern workplace examples, this episode explores what happens when leadership prioritizes image over honesty, messaging over action, and authority over trust. We also examine why silence from employees is often a sign of lost confidence in leadership rather than agreement.Topics covered in this episode include poor leadership, workplace trust, Gen Z workplace culture, millennial leadership expectations, toxic leadership, leadership accountability, workplace communication, organizational trust, management failure, employee trust, leadership transparency, and workplace culture.If you are a leader, manager, executive, Gen Z professional, or millennial employee trying to navigate leadership challenges in today's workplace, this episode will challenge how you think about trust, accountability, communication, and effective leadership.Subscribe, share, and leave a review to help more people discover conversations about poor leadership, workplace trust, leadership accountability, and modern workplace culture.Support the show

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're talking about “law enforcement” and why so many people no longer feel like laws are actually being enforced equally or consistently, especially when it comes to powerful and well-connected individuals connected to the Epstein scandal.We discuss the growing public frustration surrounding the unreleased and heavily redacted Epstein files, the lack of visible accountability for elite predators, and why so many Americans feel the justice system has failed women, children, and vulnerable people. We also talk about why local police departments, sheriffs, prosecutors, and public officials should be demanding full transparency and supporting the release of the complete unredacted Epstein files so the public can see the truth plainly.This episode also goes into the broader leadership crisis facing America and much of the world: weak leadership, fear of confrontation, and silence in the face of corruption. We discuss the need for stronger moral leadership, stronger families, stronger communities, and men willing to stand up publicly against evil instead of shrinking back from difficult conversations.If laws are not enforced equally, trust in institutions collapses. If justice is selective, people stop believing justice exists at all.It's time for courage, accountability, truth, and leadership again.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Over the past decade, she has partnered with leadership teams at public and high-growth companies to build operating models that support distributed work, enable durable growth, and strengthen resilience. At Virta Health, she built and scaled a fully remote organization recognized by Inc. as a Best Place to Work during a period of rapid expansion. At Patreon, she led the team through hypergrowth, M&A integration, and cultural evolution. Earlier in her career at Yahoo, Lucia designed and implemented analytics and decision-making infrastructure across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas. She holds a PhD in Organizational Behavior from Stanford GSB and brings a systems-driven approach to how organizations operate and evolve at scale.  Takeaways: 1. Honesty Is the Most Underrated Employee Benefit Lucia's diagnosis of broken cultures is blunt: a lack of honesty. In an era defined by uncertainty — AI, economic volatility, global instability — employees want leaders and organizations that will be straight with them. Transparency isn't a communication strategy; it's a cultural foundation. 2. Bring Your Customers Into Your Culture Virta Health keeps honesty alive by bringing its patients — the people receiving its treatment — into all-hands meetings, offsites, and board meetings. It's a radical form of accountability that makes it impossible to lose sight of what the organization is actually for. 3. Remote Done Right Is About Trust, Not Tools Flexibility is a genuine benefit — but only if it comes with trust, clear expectations, and a genuine output-over-hours mentality. Lucia's philosophy: I hired you to do a job from anywhere. Get it done. The moment you start monitoring screen time or sending 3 AM emails, you've broken the contract. 4. Know Your Population Before You Design Your Benefits Virta's benefits strategy starts with a simple question: who are our people and what do they need? Their workforce is majority women in their 30s — so fertility benefits aren't a nice-to- have, they're a core part of the value proposition. Benefits designed without demographic insight don't land. 5. Compensation Comes First — Then Benefits Can Differentiate You cannot win a talent war on benefits alone. Market-rate base, bonus, and long-term incentives have to be in place first. Once they are, benefits become the layer that signals culture and meets employees where they are in their lives. 6. Engagement Is the Proxy Metric for Peace of Mind How do you quantify something as qualitative as peace of mind? Lucia's answer: Track engagement before and after benefits changes. Employees who feel supported show up more connected to the organization. That connection is measurable — and it ties directly to retention and performance. 7. The Attrition Argument Wins the Benefits Budget Conversation When employees are in a high-stakes life phase — fertility, family planning, caregiving — and the company doesn't meet them there, they leave. The cost of replacing them is almost always higher than the cost of the benefit. Lucia builds her ROI case on that math, and it works. 8. AI Is Forcing Leaders to Lead With Meaning As AI automates the transactional parts of management, leaders are left with the one thing AI can't provide: genuine human connection and meaning. Lucia sees this as a cause for optimism — organizations that were coasting on process are now being pushed to actually invest in their people. 9. 3 AM Emails Are a Leadership Failure, Not a Work Ethic Signal Managers who send late-night or weekend messages aren't demonstrating dedication — they're demonstrating poor planning and setting a cultural expectation that others shouldn't have to absorb. If urgency is manufactured, the fix is upstream, not a Sunday Slack message. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Introduction Adam welcomes Lucia Guillory, CPO at Virta Health, and gets a quick overview of what the company does — including their recent breakthrough linking their treatment to extended survival in pancreatic cancer patients. 02:00 – From Isolation to PhD: How Lucia Got Into People Lucia traces her path into organizational behavior through a personal lens — growing up dyslexic and with ADHD, studying people as a way to understand belonging, and ultimately earning a PhD to drive change in organizations. 05:00 – What's Most Broken in Bad Cultures Lucia's direct answer: a lack of honesty. In a world of tariffs, AI anxiety, and geopolitical turbulence, employees want authenticity and transparency above everything else — and it's rarer than it should be. 07:30 – How Virta Bakes Transparency In Virta's unusual approach to keeping honesty at the forefront: bringing patients (members) into all-hands meetings, offsites, and even board meetings — making it impossible to hide what's working and what isn't. 10:30 – Remote Done Right What it actually means to be a fully remote organization: output over hours, trust over monitoring, flexibility as a genuine benefit, and clear communication as the operating system that holds it all together. 13:30 – The 3 AM Email Problem Lucia's take on managers who send emails at 3 AM or on weekends: it's a leadership failure, not a badge of honor — and employees have to vote with their feet if that's the culture. 16:00 – Total Comp: Where Benefits Fit In You can't win on benefits alone — market compensation has to be there first. But once it is, benefits become the differentiator. Lucia's framework: know your population and design accordingly. 18:30 – Fertility Benefits & Knowing Your Workforce Why Virta chose Carrot as their fertility benefits platform — and how understanding that their workforce is majority women in their 30s made this an obvious, high-impact investment across the full spectrum of family planning. 21:30 – Measuring the ROI of Peace of Mind How do you put a number on peace of mind? Lucia's answer: track engagement. Benefits that reduce stress and meet employees where they are show up directly in engagement scores — and engagement ties to retention and performance. 24:00 – Linking Benefits to Attrition The business case Lucia makes to finance: when employees are in a critical life phase — fertility, family planning, caregiving — failing to meet them there drives attrition. The cost of that attrition is measurable. The cost of the benefit usually isn't. 26:30 – What's Lighting Lucia Up: AI & the Return of Meaning Lucia's optimistic take on the AI moment: as transactional management gets automated away, leaders are being forced to show up with something AI can't provide — meaning, connection, and genuine investment in their people.    

Starmer is a dead man walking and he knows it!  #JonGauntTV #Starmer #PMQs #UKPolitics #CostOfLiving #FuelTax #IranCrisis #LeadershipCrisis #DeadManWalking #JonGaunt In a time of unprecedented domestic and global crisis, the British people are crying out for leadership and big ideas. But nearly two years into his premiership, it's clear Keir Starmer has neither. Today at PMQs, the mask didn't just slip—it fell off. Challenged by the Speaker to actually answer a question, Starmer showed he is a man with no plan beyond calling for another meeting and blaming the previous administration.  The "manifesto of change" has become a manifesto of U-turns. He knows the clock is ticking, and the country knows it too. Keir Starmer is a dead man walking, and tonight, we're breaking down why his time is up.  Tonight's Key Topics: The Iran Crisis & The Leadership Void: As tensions escalate in the Middle East, where is the British plan for Iran? We discuss why a "strategy of silence" and endless meetings are putting our national interests at risk. A Real Plan for the Cost of Living: While Starmer dithers, the solutions are obvious. Why won't he drop the rate of fuel tax to help working families? Why is he refusing to drop VAT for pubs and hospitality businesses that are the lifeblood of our communities?  The PMQs Meltdown: Why even the Speaker of the House is losing patience with Starmer's refusal to answer for his own record. The Two-Year Verdict: Two years in, the "blame the Tories" excuse has finally expired. This is now Starmer's Britain—and the wheels are coming off.  Don't just watch—get involved!

The yachting industry is losing crew, and the problem is not recruitment.

Send us Fan MailToday, we're talking about something that most nurses have felt — but few organizations are willing to name honestly.Burnout.But what if burnout isn't about resilience?What if it isn't about self-care?What if it's actually an ethical issue?My guest today is Aimee Ellis, nurse executive and author of Flatline Ethics. Aimee argues that when nurses are chronically overwhelmed, morally distressed, and unsupported, that's not a staffing inconvenience.That's an ethical breakdown.Recently debuting as a Top 10 New Release in Health Policy on Amazon, the book argues that nurse burnout is not a personal weakness — it's a leadership failure.If you've ever felt moral distress, invisible, or asked to carry the weight of a broken system — this conversation is for you. In the five-minute snippet: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Aimee is comin' for you.For Aimee's bio, visit my website (link below).TAE Associates and Co.Contact The Conversing Nurse podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconversingnursepodcast/Website: https://theconversingnursepodcast.comYour review is so important to this Indie podcaster!

Most organizations take their best performer, hand them a title, and call it a promotion. What they don't tell that person is that everything that made them great at their job is now working against them. In this first installment of a two-part conversation, Jamie sits down with Matt Whitehead — Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health — to explore one of the most overlooked transitions in healthcare leadership: the shift from being an exceptional doer to becoming a leader others will actually follow. In this episode: Why the moment Matt stepped into his first nursing home administrator role cracked the foundation of everything he thought he knew about leadership The dangerous myth that new leaders walk in as "instant experts" — and how that belief causes their teams to start managing them Why the dopamine hit of checking things off a to-do list disappears in leadership, and what you have to build to replace it How to delegate without losing your mind — and why being crystal clear on outcomes matters more than anything else Why conflict is never a problem to be eliminated — it's information to be used This episode is for every high-performer who has stepped into a leadership role and felt the ground shift beneath them. You're not alone — and it's not a flaw. It's the beginning. www.YourHealth.Org

Are employees really losing their jobs because of artificial intelligence, or are AI layoffs often a simplified narrative for deeper strategic decisions? In this episode of The Leadership Podcast, leadership expert Niels Brabandt analyses the growing debate around AI-driven layoffs and examines a recent case involving fintech company Block and CEO Jack Dorsey. Using this example, Niels Brabandt explores what truly lies behind workforce reductions that are publicly attributed to artificial intelligence. The discussion highlights the strategic realities that leaders must confront when technology, market pressures and investor expectations intersect. Key topics discussed in this episode include: • The relationship between artificial intelligence and productivity • Why AI alone rarely explains large-scale layoffs • The role of overhiring during economic growth phases • Financial exposure and market volatility as strategic drivers • Why share price pressure matters in publicly listed companies • The importance of professional communication during organisational change • Why leadership transparency and professional reasoning are essential in transformation processes This episode provides decision-makers with a deeper understanding of how technological transformation interacts with leadership responsibility and strategic decision-making.

Why does yachting keep talking about crew wellbeing while losing experienced people year after year?In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman sits down with Xanthe Bowater, Founder of WaveWellness Solutions, for a raw, unfiltered conversation about crew burnout, leadership failure, and why the industry still struggles to modernise its approach to human welfare onboard.Drawing on more than a decade working at sea, Xanthe shares the highs that make yachting unforgettable and the lows that quietly end careers. From unresolved trauma and isolation offshore to leadership roles filled without people management training, this episode examines how silence, stigma, and outdated systems continue to harm crew wellbeing, retention, and safety.The discussion goes beyond mental health awareness and into operational reality. Interior teams carry guest experience, emotional labour, and emergency responsibility while remaining undervalued. Crew are afraid to ask for help because confidentiality is misunderstood. Younger generations are labelled as soft when they are simply unwilling to accept burnout as normal.Xanthe also explains why WaveWellness Solutions was built using proven shore side Employee Assistance Program models, and why confidential, preventative wellbeing support is not a luxury but basic risk management for modern yachting operations.This episode is essential listening for captains, yacht managers, owners, and crew who want to understand why the industry keeps repeating the same mistakes and what practical change actually looks like onboard.Topics covered include: Crew burnout and retention in yachting Leadership gaps and people management failures Mental health at sea and confidentiality concerns Why interior crew remain undervalued despite high responsibility Trauma, isolation, and silence offshore The future of crew wellbeing in the superyacht industry About Yachting International Radio: https://www.yachtinginternationalradio.comLearn more about WaveWellness Solutions:https://www.wavewellnesss.com

This week, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz abruptly ended his bid for a third term. This episode was recorded four days earlier during a live conversation and, in hindsight, it explains exactly why this outcome was almost inevitable. Amid a sprawling welfare fraud crisis that Republicans and former President Donald Trump turned into a national political flashpoint, the pressure escalated, division deepened, and Walz found himself trying to govern while defending his political future at the same time. Walz ultimately said he could not justify campaigning while confronting systemic fraud and the blowback it was generating, choosing to focus on governing instead. What looks like a Walz versus Trump showdown is really a cautionary tale about how leadership falters when distraction becomes the strategy and noise replaces accountability.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

Modern Conservatism is collapsing, and it isn't because of the Left. It's because the Right has abandoned biblical order, biblical loyalty, and biblical leadership.In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm examining how our so-called conservative leaders have traded Christianity for political convenience, elevating foreign loyalties, unbiblical theology, and female authority over God's clearly established design. When prominent figures openly choose Judaism over Christianity and Israel over America, we must ask: What exactly are we conserving anymore?Scripture is clear: Christianity is a patriarchy with God as its Head, Christ as King, and men called to lead in righteousness. A movement that rejects this order will inevitably rot from the inside out.This episode is a call to return to:Christ over cultureFaith over foreign allegianceGod's elect over globalist prioritiesBiblical men over platformed female personalitiesIf Conservatism wants to survive, it must first repent.--https://www.bible.com/

A layoff can feel like a verdict. We treat it as a turning point. In this candid conversation, we unpack what it means to “fail forward” when the spotlight is brightest and the Sunday Scaries won't quit. Shelby shares the raw aftermath of being laid off from a high-profile role and the unexpected freedom that came from choosing silence, setting boundaries, and designing a schedule that serves her. Belinda digs into the shame loop many leaders fall into, why scapegoating thrives in political environments, and how reframing misalignment can restore agency and momentum.Two questions anchor the episode: Who can you trust, and what are you willing to tolerate?

Winning the battle is one thing — staying faithful after the victory is another. Summary: Gideon's story in Judges 8 shows us a hard truth: success can be more dangerous than struggle. After a miraculous victory over Midian, Gideon let pride, vengeance, and compromise creep in — and it unraveled his leadership and legacy. This chapter warns every man that the fight doesn't end when the enemy falls; it often begins when the applause starts. In this study, Vince Miller challenges us to examine how we lead after the win and how we guard our hearts against the subtle traps that success brings. Reflection & Discussion Questions 1. Why do you think success often exposes more about a person's character than failure? 2. What signs of pride or self-reliance do you see in Gideon after the battle? 3. How did Gideon's pursuit of revenge distort his leadership? 4. What does this chapter teach us about the danger of power without accountability? 5. How might Gideon's refusal to be king sound humble, yet still reveal compromise? 6. In what ways can spiritual success lead to spiritual complacency in our lives? 7. How did Gideon's choices impact the nation after his death? 8. Where are you most tempted to relax spiritually after a “win”? 9. What safeguards can you put in place to stay faithful after seasons of victory? 10. How does Jesus model the opposite of Gideon's leadership in success?

Bernard Agrest: When Stepping Back Becomes Stepping Away—A Leadership Failure Story Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Bernard shares a powerful story about a critical research project where his instinct to step back and empower his team ultimately led to project failure and personal burnout. When Bernard realized his team wasn't ready for the work ahead, he made the mistake of taking everything on himself rather than building proper feedback loops and ensuring true understanding. Working overtime and feeling guilty about not supporting his team properly, Bernard learned that empowerment isn't about stepping back—it's about creating space to work together. His key insight reveals that it's through doing the work that we discover what work actually needs to be done, and that having people say they "get" the plan doesn't mean they truly understand it. Self-reflection Question: How do you distinguish between genuine team empowerment and abandonment when stepping back from direct involvement in projects?

Lilia Pulova: Leadership Red Flag—When Managers Care More About Career Than Team Success Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Lilia shares the story of when she worked with a troubled team where all projects were running late. As a junior Scrum Master, she struggled to identify that the root cause was a manager more focused on career advancement than team success. This manager only paid attention to team members who could provide exposure to higher management, dismissing other requests with "let's solve that later." Integration problems mounted, key people were absent, and when COVID arrived, the team was ultimately disbanded. This experience taught Lilia crucial lessons about taking ownership of team success and viewing the Scrum Master role as a continuous learning journey in leadership. Self-reflection Question: How well do you understand the human dynamics within your team, and what signals might you be missing about individual motivations? Featured Book of the Week: 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene Lilia recommends "48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene for its insights into human behavior and understanding the consequences of our actions when working with others. As Scrum Masters who interact with humans daily, this book helps develop awareness of interpersonal dynamics. One key principle Lilia applies is "always say less than necessary" - helping teams make decisions rather than overwhelming them with too much information or direction.

Send us a textLeadership failures cost trades businesses hundreds of thousands of dollars every year through invisible expenses that never appear on balance sheets. When your leadership team lacks clear vision, transparent communication, and consistent accountability, the ripple effects damage everything from customer satisfaction to employee retention.Corey Berrier draws from years of industry experience to expose the 15 critical reasons leadership teams fail in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other skilled trades companies. He reveals how seemingly minor leadership shortcomings create major business problems—like how failing to enforce standards equally among high and low performers creates harmful inconsistency throughout your organization.The financial implications are staggering. A bad hire costs approximately 50% of their annual salary when factoring in training resources, lost customer opportunities, and replacement expenses. For a company with 50 technicians cycling through just 10 poor hires annually, that represents a hidden $500,000 drain on profitability.Beyond hiring practices, modern leadership requires embracing technological advancements that improve efficiency. Companies resistant to implementing effective CRM systems, digital tools, or service management software find themselves steadily losing market share to competitors whose teams can handle more service calls with greater ease and accuracy.Perhaps most importantly, leadership directly shapes company culture. The best trades businesses have created environments so positive that they have potential employees lining up to join them, eliminating recruitment struggles entirely. Meanwhile, companies with toxic cultures perpetually struggle with turnover, underperformance, and customer complaints.Ready to transform your leadership approach and unlock your business's true potential? This episode provides actionable strategies that drive profitability while creating a healthier workplace. When you serve your employees effectively, they'll naturally serve your customers exceptionally—creating sustainable growth and success.https://coreyberrier.gumroad.com/ Support the show https://www.audible.com/pd/9-Simple-Steps-to-Sell-More-ht-Audiobook/B0D4SJYD4Q?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=library_overflowhttps://www.amazon.com/Simple-Steps-Sell-More-Stereotypes-ebook/dp/B0BRNSFYG6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1OSB7HX6FQMHS&keywords=corey+berrier&qid=1674232549&sprefix=%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreysalescoach/
