What if I told you that love—not fear, not pressure—creates the most successful businesses?
I know, I know. In a world driven by bottom lines and quotas, that might sound idealistic. But after decades of leading companies—from Saab to Herschend Family Entertainment—I’ve seen firsthand that leading with love isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s the most effective strategy for long-term success.
In this episode, I sit down to share the lessons I’ve learned about love-driven leadership, including:
How putting people first actually boosts employee performance, customer satisfaction, and profits.
What I learned from leading the Saturn “No-Haggle” revolution—and how it disrupted an industry.
A personal failure that forced me to rethink leadership and changed the trajectory of my career.
The 7 words that define a culture of love—and why so many leaders misunderstand them.
The moment that nearly broke me… and the unexpected call that helped me find my way back.
I’ve been on Undercover Boss, helped launch Amazon’s first car-selling venture, and studied leadership at Harvard. But my biggest lessons didn’t come from boardrooms. They came from learning how to lead with love—something I believe every leader needs to hear.
If you’re in business, leadership, or simply want to build a culture where people thrive—this episode is for you.
Hit play now and let’s talk about how love can transform the way you lead.
