About this listen

What does honesty look like when stakes are high and timing matters?

This episode centers on a simple rule from Big Mike: Bad news doesn’t get better with age. We unpack the difference between truth, spin, and omission and why partial honesty with a slant can be just as damaging than a clean mistake. From leadership credibility to team culture, we explore how delays create confusion, why silence isn’t neutral, and how a one-minute feedback moment can change a career.

If you care about honest leadership, crisis communication, feedback that lands, and building trust without theatrics, you’ll find practical takeaways here.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find it.

Ask yourself: What truth do you need to say sooner?
