How to Discover Your Team’s Values with David Bumby

In this bonus episode, host Dane Groeneveld sits down with producer, Dr. Alicia McCraw and colleague David Bumby for a practical, behind-the-scenes walkthrough of how to identify the values that guide any team. Rather than brainstorming lofty ideals, David demonstrates a process listeners can use themselves: revealing the values already at work, pressure-testing them, translating them into observable behaviors, and integrating them into daily decision-making. 

Through real examples from the podcast, moments of tension, and candid reflection, the team uncovers how values quietly influence decisions long before they’re documented. They explore how curiosity shapes guest selection, how psychological safety drives production choices, and why doubling down on the human has become a recurring theme in their work.

Whether you’re defining values for the first time or clarifying what your team already believes, this episode gives you the questions, steps, and mindset to do it with intention.
