What happens when a hard-charging veteran-entrepreneur sits down with a leadership coach who helps founders get out of their own way? Sparks—and breakthroughs. In this conversation, host Joey Griffith and guest Annie Yatch (North Star Leadership) dig into the difference between leadership and management, why culture is just “observable actions,” and how many entrepreneurs get trapped in rules (not just boundaries). Joey opens up about faith, fatherhood, nerve pain, insomnia, and counseling—and Annie shares how reconnecting head and heart can make leaders more magnetic, scalable, and sane.
