Have you ever worked for a company that
tells you to bring your full self to work, celebrates authenticity
and psychological safety, and then turns around and crushes you
with metrics, perfectionism, and burnout?
If you find yourself nodding, this episode is for you.
Shaun Tinney, a speaker, performance coach, and
the author of Practice
Everything, joins me for a deep, honest conversation
about leadership, workplace culture, and what it really means to
live and work with intention.
Shaun has spent years guiding individuals and teams through pivotal
change across both corporate and creative environments, drawing on
psychology, the Enneagram, and a whole lot of
lived experience to help people navigate resistance with confidence
and clarity.
In this interview, Shaun shares his journey from entrepreneurship
and high-impact consulting to stepping away from agency life,
traveling more than 70,000 miles across the country, and eventually
helping shape culture, learning, and development at goodr
Sunglasses during a period of rapid growth.
Shaun and I talk about the “small” stuff that ends up shaping everything: the mixed messages leaders send (often without realizing it), and the gap between what companies say they value and what actually gets rewarded day to day.
This conversation is for leaders, founders, creatives, and
anyone who wants to do work that matters without burning out within
systems that still run on fear rather than trust.
Take your time with this one, grab a notebook, and let it challenge
the way you think about performance and The Ripple
Effect your daily choices create.
