In this episode, we’re calling BS on some of the biggest narratives that dominate corporate life. You’ve likely heard them a hundred times yourself:

“There’s a war for talent.”

“We build high-performing teams.”

“We’re looking for real leaders.”

But when you compare those talking points to what actually happens inside organizations, the contradictions become impossible to ignore. With more than 15 years in the trenches including leading teams, managing change, and seeing how the system really works behind the scenes from top to bottom. Add in some research, some data, and a few unfiltered conversations, and we’re ready to say what most people won’t: a lot of what companies preach just doesn’t hold up in practice.

Is it all just marketing? Is it a case of best intentions? Or are they intentional lies?

The only way to start fixing things is be acknowledging the problem, so join us to be part of the conversation.

We all have habits we wish we could break but what if quitting wasn’t about willpower at all? What if the real key was learning how your brain works and using that to your advantage?

In this episode, I share how I painlessly quit smoking after more than two decades and not by suffering through withdrawal, but by hacking the habit at the root. Using neuroscience-backed techniques and practical tools, I rewired my brain, redefined my identity, and shut down the voice that once planned my life around cigarettes.

What’s in it for you?

• Learn how habits are formed and how to break them for good
• Discover the power of identity shifts and mindset rewiring
• Use visualization and delay tactics to take control without going to war with yourself
• Explore tools like habit inventories, the “10-more-minute” method, and neuroplasticity-based visualizations
• Understand why accountability and self-compassion matter more than willpower

Whether you’re trying to quit smoking or just want to break a bad habit holding you back this episode is your roadmap to real, lasting change.

👉 Habits aren’t destiny. They’re systems. And systems can be hacked. Tune in to hack yours!!!
