Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom Podcast Episode Fifty Nine with Kurt Uhlir.

In this episode of Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom, Kim Miller-Hershon sits down with Kurt Uhlir — CMO, growth operator, and a leader who’s helped scale companies through hypergrowth, acquisitions, and even an $880M IPO. But here’s the twist… Kurt challenges the very idea of what leadership is supposed to look like. Conventional wisdom says: 👉 Leaders must always be certain 👉 Growth follows a fixed playbook 👉 Success means scaling fast—no matter what Kurt flips that on its head. He shares why the best leaders don’t pretend to have it all figured out and how that mindset actually unlocks better strategy, stronger teams, and real growth. This conversation dives deep into: • Why “having all the answers” can actually hold you back • The hidden danger of hiring for roles instead of outcomes • How leadership behavior can unintentionally trigger your team • Why decision-making gets harder—not easier—as you grow • The real reason imposter syndrome shows up (even at the top) • How to define your “best yes” and stop chasing everything One of the biggest takeaways?  If you don’t define what success looks like for you, you’ll always feel like you’re falling short. Kurt’s perspective is a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t about control it’s about curiosity, clarity, and the courage to question everything… including yourself. 🎧 If you’re building, leading, or scaling—this is one you don’t want to miss.
