In this episode, we explore Josh's groundbreaking concept of the "invisible tribe"—those people who crave purpose, connection, and creativity in their work and won't settle for purely transactional environments.

Key topics include:

The concept of the invisible tribe and how organizations can ignite intrinsic motivation
Why treating humans like machines is fundamentally flawed
The misalignment between short-term financial pressures and long-term people investments
How to help employees operate "at their best" more frequently
Moving from army-style hierarchies to orchestra-style collaboration and harmony
Transitioning from old-world scientist thinking to new-world artist mindsets
Why organizations need to shift from pyramid structures to bridge structures
The importance of rest and recovery in creating sustainable high performance

Whether you're leading a team, transforming an organization, or simply trying to create more meaningful work experiences, Josh's insights provide a roadmap for building workplaces that honor human potential while delivering exceptional results.
