    The Self Problem Behind Most Work Problems

    Most people think they have a work problem. A bad team. A broken culture. A performance issue. But more often than not, the real bottleneck isn’t the work it’s the self. In this episode of Built to Execute, Alyssa and Danny break down how ego, avoidance, emotional reactions, inconsistent standards, and tolerated behavior quietly sabotage teams and businesses. This isn’t an episode about shame. It’s about ownership. Because when individuals stop blaming outward and start leading inward, execution gets sharper, you get stronger, and results follow.

    Measure Your Culture Like Your EBITDA Depends on It

    Measure your culture like your profit depends on it — because it does. In this episode of Built To Execute, Alyssa shares the Culture-to-EBITDA Scoreboard, a framework for tracking culture with the same discipline as your financials so it fuels, not drains, your EBITDA. You’ll learn how to: Define measurable culture behaviors (referrals, turnover %, internal promotions, review keywords) Tie each culture KPI to a financial lever (recruiting/training cost, conversion rate, repeat bookings) Set a monthly → quarterly → annual review cadence Delegate and automate tracking so it doesn’t become “another spreadsheet” This is the execution companion to the Built By Bart episode People Culture vs. EBITDA — turning the “why” into a repeatable, measurable “how” you can start today. One move you can make today: Pick three culture KPIs, tie each to a financial metric, and add them to your monthly leadership scorecard.
