Culture happens whether you design it or not.
In this conversation, Jaime Solis and Jonathan Sasse dig deep into the mechanics of culture—how it forms, how it spreads, and how it can either power your team forward or quietly tear it apart. Using stories from sports, music, and business, they explore what makes a team “punch above its weight,” why clarity of purpose matters more than perks, and how culture becomes a renewable source of energy when people trust one another.
They share practical ways leaders and teams can cultivate a healthy culture—from defining roles and communicating the “why,” to spotting early signs of toxicity and addressing them before they spread. You’ll also hear how small actions—like recognition, curiosity, and clear signals of what’s valued—can shift entire organizations.
Because culture isn’t a slogan or a ping-pong table. It’s the daily pattern of “people like us doing things like this.” (to swoop a Seth Godin line!)
