In this episode, Mike sits down with Dr. Patty Ann Tublin, a world‑class expert in emotional intelligence, communication, and human behavior. Founder of The Relationship Toolbox, bestselling author, high‑performance executive coach, and host of The Dr. Patty Ann Podcast, she’s worked with leaders at the highest levels — from the co‑founder of Netflix to the president of Starbucks.

Together, they dig into the real conversations most leaders avoid:

• Why 50/50 partnerships are a recipe for stalemate.
• How to foster healthy, ideological conflict without it getting personal.
• The signs your culture is quietly rotting from within.
• Why contracts won’t fix a trust problem — and what will.

Dr. Patti Ann shares how CEOs and COOs can stay aligned, the role emotional maturity plays in leadership, and why the best organizations aren’t “families” — they’re high‑performing teams that care for each other.

If you’re a founder, executive, or just someone who knows great leadership starts with great relationships, this one’s for you.
