Author, speaker, and entrepreneur Robert Glazer joins Michael Chernow for a deep dive into what core values really mean — and why most of us get them totally wrong. Forget the corporate fluff and buzzwords. This episode of The Kreatures of Habit Podcast breaks down how to actually define, live, and lead through authentic values that align with who you are.

Robert shares insights from his book The Compass Within, exploring how core values shape your decisions, relationships, and long-term success. You’ll learn how to uncover your true non-negotiables, create alignment in your work and personal life, and understand the values that drive others so you can build stronger teams, businesses, and connections.

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the phrase “core values,” this episode will change that for good.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

How to identify and define your real core values
Why most “company core values” fail
How shared values build trust and authentic culture
What The Compass Within teaches about alignment and purpose
Why understanding others’ values improves every relationship
