Cory Ivins: Why Humanity Is the Real Competitive Edge in Business

For years, we’ve been told “it’s just business.” But what if that’s exactly what’s breaking us?In this powerful conversation, Dr. David Morgan sits down with Cory Ivins, a human performance strategist who’s made it his mission to bring humanity back into the workplace. After climbing the corporate ladder, hitting top-tier sales numbers, and nearly losing everything that mattered, Cory realized that high performance means nothing without purpose and that mental health isn’t a side conversation; it’s the foundation.From the brink of burnout and personal crisis to building teams of “savants and misfits” that thrive, Cory shares how reconnecting people to purpose leads to stronger businesses, healthier relationships, and even saved lives. Together, Dr. Morgan and Cory unpack the myths of grind culture, the mental toll of the AI revolution, and why the best leaders treat their people with the same care they give their products.If you’ve ever asked yourself whether success is worth the cost — or wondered how to build something great without losing yourself — this episode will stop you in your tracks.
