About this listen

Adulthood’s biggest scam? Giving up the kid energy that made us electric.

In this episode of The Pulse Wave, we unpack what it really takes to build trust, lead authentically, and not turn into a bureaucratic zombie. We’re starting with The Rizzler — yes, a literal third-grader — and ending with the AI bots screening your resume and your ambition. This is the show for leaders who don’t flinch when things get weird — they lean in.

S2:E6 Segments:

0:00 – Cold Open: Why weird is a leadership skill
4:30 – Segment 1: Rizzler Rules: Relate First, Lead Second
11:00 – Segment 2: Laugh Lines, Not Bottom Lines
20:40 – Segment 3: AI Recruiters in a Shrinking Room
30:25 – Segment 4: Hug Your Job, Smother Your Future

Topics this episode:
→ Building trust without the LinkedIn mask
→ Humor as a leadership advantage
→ When AI becomes your new boss
→ Job-hugging, fear-based stability, and the cost of staying put

Guests:
Tommy Weinert (Mount Indie), Rob Murtha (Adjective), Ross O’Rourke (special guest seat)
