In this episode of The Burnout Club, Patrice Bonfiglio sits down with workplace culture and leadership expert Danny Goldberg. Danny shares the deeply personal story behind his entrepreneurial journey, starting from launching a boxing gear company at just 14 to founding multiple successful businesses, including Diamond MMA and his latest venture, BOG Consulting. Together, they unpack the "Build with Care" framework—focused on Safety, Understanding, and Connection—and explore how leaders can turn care into a strategic lever for reducing burnout, disengagement, and turnover.

With powerful anecdotes and practical strategies, Danny challenges outdated leadership norms and introduces a future-forward, human-centric approach to building teams. He also dives into his philosophy on leadership, the myth of generational differences in the workplace, and why perks are no substitute for genuine connection.
