  • He Left Everything to Build a Practice No One Believed In | Dr. Daniel Kimbley | The Power Of Integrity Podcast
    Sep 18 2025

    What happens when you walk away from everything that’s “working”, to pursue something you truly believe in?

    In this episode of The Power of Integrity, host Ralph Adamo sits down with Dr. Daniel Kimbley, Owner of Nexus Family Chiropractic, to unpack how values, not just vision, built a thriving business from scratch in Dana Point, California.

    Dr. Kimbley shares his path from high school English teacher in Indiana to chiropractor, business owner, and leadership coach. From selling everything to move across the country, to walking away from client offers that didn’t align with his ethics, Dr. Kimbley explains how living in alignment with your standards creates stronger teams, better client relationships, and long-term success.

    This conversation goes beyond chiropractic, it’s about what it means to run a purpose-driven business without compromising who you are.

    🔍 In this episode, you’ll learn:

    ✅ Why your home values should match your business values

    ✅ How refusing a lucrative cash offer became a defining integrity moment

    ✅ The leadership shift that transformed his company culture and team loyalty

    🎙 Podcast Quote: "If you don’t live by your standards everywhere—in the office, at home, with your team—you’re not in integrity. Period." – Dr. Daniel Kimbley

  • Why the Best Pizza Brand in OC Was Built on Integrity | Jeff Roberts | The Power Of Integrity Podcast
    Sep 11 2025

    What makes a pizza place more than just a restaurant?

    In this episode of The Power of Integrity, host Ralph Adamo sits down with Jeff Roberts, Founder & CEO of Sgt. Pepperoni’s, to explore how a community-first mindset, team loyalty, and unwavering consistency turned a local pizzeria into one of Orange County’s most celebrated hospitality brands.

    Jeff shares his business journey from surf retail to global brand-building at Volcom and 5.11 Tactical, to reclaiming his childhood pizza shop and turning it into a mission-driven enterprise. With four thriving locations (and more coming), Jeff explains how culture, scratch-made quality, and community service, including a 13-year partnership with Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), drive every decision.

    He also opens up about the reality of leadership: letting go of ego, investing in people, and walking away from environments that lacked integrity, even when it cost him personally.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why high integrity hiring leads to high team retention
    • How community partnerships build long-term customer loyalty
    • What it takes to grow a values-first business in the hospitality space

    "Every day we open our doors, it’s like opening our home with love, consistency, and service." – Jeff Roberts

  • The Leadership Framework That Grew WD-40 by Billions | Garry Ridge | The Power Of Integrity Podcast
    Sep 4 2025

    How do you build a company where anyone, anywhere, can make the right decision without asking for permission?

    In this episode of The Power of Integrity, host Ralph Adamo is joined by Garry Ridge, Chairman Emeritus of WD-40 Company and founder of The Learning Moment, for a conversation that breaks down the real-world power of hierarchical values, servant leadership, and cultural clarity.

    Garry shares how WD-40 grew its market cap from $300 million to $3.6 billion under his leadership, not by chasing profits, but by empowering people with a clearly defined code: do the right thing, every time. He reveals the six core values that guided global decision-making and how a single choice to walk away from a $4 million savings opportunity proved the company’s commitment to integrity. From COVID response to coaching CEOs today, Garry explains why love, learning, and forgiveness aren’t soft, they’re strong.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    ✅ How WD-40 scaled globally using a codified value system

    ✅ Why culture outperforms strategy when values are clear

    ✅ What it means to lead with clarity, humility, and purpose

    🎙 Podcast Quote:

    "We had one rule: if a decision doesn’t pass the first value doing the right thing, it doesn’t pass. Period." – Garry Ridge
