Episode Description

<p>Forget what you've been told about what's driving division, disengagement, and dysfunction. It's not woke and DEI. It's not remote work. It's not Gen Z or political affiliations.

In this gut-punch of an episode, Zach and host Ira S Wolfe rip into why belonging programs fall flat, expose the myth about soft skills, and reveal why making someone feel seen isn't a nice-to-have—it's survival. You'll never look at leadership, work, or human connection the same way again.</p> <p>Perks don't create a vibrant culture. They're distractions from the fact no one feels like they belong.
