This week on Evolve, Yvette Bethel shares a conversation with author and speaker Jeff Davis about recognizing and escaping toxic workplaces. Drawing from his book The Courage to Leave: Breaking Free from Toxic Workplaces, Jeff discusses the hidden psychological effects of unhealthy work environments, the subtle warning signs of toxic cultures, and the leadership behaviors that can normalize dysfunction. He also shares practical guidance for those struggling with the decision to stay or leave, along with strategies for rebuilding confidence and professional identity after making a change. The conversation ultimately encourages listeners to prioritize their well-being and recognize their power to choose healthier, more fulfilling work environments.

Rob Haynie is viewed as the Michael Jordan of life settlements - except instead of dunking basketballs, he is demolishing outdated financial strategies. He has been acknowledged as one of the Most Influential Figures in the Life Settlements Industry and hosts his own podcast, Unlocking the Hidden Value of Your Life Insurance!

Listen in for Rob's financial and leadership insights.

What if the smartest model for modern leadership is already inside our heads?

This week I’m joined by Edwin Clamp, a thinker at the intersection of neuroscience, leadership, and organizational design. His work reimagines how companies function by looking at how the brain actually works—not how we wish workplaces behaved.

Together we explore how brain-inspired design can reshape leadership, culture, and decision-making.

Together we unpack:

• What “biomimicry of the mind” really means for organizations

• How prediction → error → adjustment drives both brains and great teams

• The brain’s “many little experts” and what that teaches us about autonomy

Listen in to Edwin Clamp as he explores Biomimicry.
