About this listen

Let’s be honest—people problems aren’t just HR problems. They’re business problems.

They show up as missed goals, poor accountability, hiring headaches, and culture drift. And the fix isn’t another policy—it’s better leadership.

Business would be easy… if it weren’t for people.

That’s why I’m launching You’ve Got People Problems—a podcast where we talk about the real impact of leadership, hiring, accountability, and team dynamics. Because let’s be honest: HR isn’t going to save you, and avoiding people issues won’t make them go away.

We’re bringing in business leaders, EOS Implementers, and hiring experts to break down the people problems that are costing companies time, money, and sanity—and more importantly, how to fix them.


If you’re leading a team, hiring people, or just trying to make your business run without constant headaches, this podcast is for you.

🔊 Subscribe, listen, and let’s talk about your people problems.
