What if the missing link to scaling your business isn’t strategy or hustle—but buy-in?In today’s episode, I sat down with Dave Garrison—Harvard MBA, former CEO, leadership strategist, and author of The Buy-In Advantage. Together, we unpack the real reason so many businesses struggle to scale: a lack of authentic team engagement and aligned leadership. From culture-building to communication, this episode is a masterclass in how to create a team that moves fast, works well, and stays committed—because they believe in the mission as much as you do.Whether you’re a team of one or one hundred, these insights will reframe how you lead.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Why buy-in is more than just agreement—it’s heart, gut, and brain alignmentThe hidden costs of poor team culture (and how it’s secretly draining your business)Why most delegation fails—and how to fix itHow to ask better questions to unlock your team’s geniusThe 7 ingredients of a sustainable, values-driven cultureHow to build trust, accountability, and performance—without micromanaging Key Takeaways:✔️Buy-in starts with you: Authentic leadership means modeling the culture you want to see.✔️Three is greater than seven: Too many priorities means no priorities.

You’ve read the books. Saved the Reels. Listened to the podcasts. Taken the courses. But deep down, you’re still stuck—and wondering why all the “growth” isn’t transforming your life or business.In this solo episode, George delivers a blunt but loving reality check: you might be addicted to the idea of transformation, not the embodiment of it. If you’ve been collecting knowledge but avoiding the uncomfortable work of becoming the person you say you want to be, this one is for you.This episode is raw, personal, and deeply practical.
