Vulnerable Leadership: The Secret Behind Culture, Trust, and Growth with Randy Crabtree

✨ Beyond Titles — Leading with Heart, Honesty, and Humanity ✨

In this powerful episode of The Shift Spotlight™, we sit down with Randy from Tri-Merit, whose story redefines what real leadership looks like. After a stroke changed his life 11 years ago, Randy rebuilt not just his health—but his entire approach to leadership—around authenticity, joy, and vulnerability.

The result? A people-first culture that propelled Tri-Merit onto Inc. Magazine’s Fastest-Growing Companies list three years in a row. 🚀

Randy shares how leading with heart can transform a business from the inside out:

⚡ Why admitting “I don’t know” builds trust, innovation, and stronger teams

🏠 How transparency and open hours created a thriving remote culture

🔁 The moment he realized scaling meant stepping aside so others could lead

💫 Why chasing joy in your role might be the most underrated growth strategy of all

This conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about leadership—and inspire you to bring more courage, honesty, and humanity to the way you lead.

🎧 Tune in to hear how Randy’s journey proves that true success starts with authenticity.
