Can your company grow bigger and stay true to what matters most?

In this episode, I sit down with Robert Glazer — serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, and a true expert in values-driven leadership. We dive into the uncomfortable question: can you scale a business without diluting your culture or losing your way? Robert shares hard-earned wisdom on defining your personal and organizational core values, how to hire and lead with alignment, and why getting this right isn’t fluffy — it’s foundational. He also opens up about his new book The Compass Within, revealing how values aren’t just good for business — they’re key to living a life that feels right. Whether you're hiring, scaling, or leading, this episode will challenge you to think bigger by getting clearer on what actually matters.

Key Takeaways:

  • Leading with Core Values from the Start: Robert shares how being values-led helped him build Acceleration Partners into a global performance marketing agency — without selling out.
  • Scaling Without Losing Your Culture: We discuss the growing pains of expansion, and how to protect what makes your company great while still growing fast.
  • Aligning Personal Growth with Professional Success: Robert explains why leaders need to understand their own core values — and how The Compass Within helps them do just that.
  • Hiring, Retention, and Culture Fit: Get Robert’s framework for attracting and keeping top talent who don’t just perform, but align with your mission.
  • Using AI Without Losing the Human Touch: We explore how leaders can leverage AI for productivity — while doubling down on the uniquely human parts of leadership.
