  • Out With The Old, In With The Bold
    Jul 17 2025

    This episode is for every leader who’s sick of playing it safe, sick of checking boxes, and especially sick of hearing, “But that’s how we’ve always done it.” You want results? Good. Because I am about to torch the old playbook and light the path forward with something bold, something fearless, and something that actually gets sh*t done.

    I’ve been through it. Projects failing. Teams burning out. Deadlines flying by like warning signs on a highway to nowhere. I followed all the rules... and sometimes they got me nowhere. So I broke them. I rewrote the approach. And guess what? Projects started finishing on time. Teams came alive. And suddenly, results weren’t a miracle—they were expected.

    In this episode, I am throwing out the crusty old frameworks that keep businesses stuck and replacing them with real-deal tactics that actually work in the chaos of the real world. Not corporate fantasyland. You’ll hear how other fearless leaders ditched the fluff and built teams that crushed timelines, broke boundaries, and had fun doing it.

  • How Great Managers Deliver
    Jul 10 2025

    Workplace drama is like glitter. Once it shows up, it spreads everywhere and is almost impossible to get rid of. One miscommunication and suddenly your team’s group chat is hotter than a reality TV reunion. But the best managers? They know how to keep things cool, calm, and conflict-free—while still crushing deadlines and getting stellar results.

    In this episode, Wayne digs into the secrets of drama-free leadership—and no, it doesn’t involve mandatory yoga or weekly trust falls. We’re talking real strategies for clear communication, conflict resolution, and keeping your team focused without the soap opera.

  • From Frazzled to Fantastic
    Jul 3 2025

    Today we’re diving headfirst into one of the messiest, most overhyped, and least understood topics in business: productivity without the soul-crushing stress.

    In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to get more done without losing your mind, your weekend, or your hairline. We’ll explore strange-but-effective techniques, bizarre-but-brilliant tools, and time management strategies that don’t involve waking up at 4 a.m. to “journal your intentions.” (Please don’t.)

    We’re also getting brutally honest about stressed-out employees—because if you manage a team, you’ve definitely got at least one (or twelve). And if you’re on the team? You can be part of the solution instead of just part of the group chat complaining about it.
