    Abstract Essay, now in its sixth season, proudly features Elliot Sawyer Loyalty Strategist and organizational culture expert who helps high-capacity organizations struggling with low employee buy-in transform into businesses that people genuinely love

    Elliot Sawyer Loyalty Strategist: Helping High Capacity Organizations Experiencing Low Buy-In, Become Businesses People Love to Work For and Buy From I help businesses grow by building loyalty across leadership, teams, and customers. While this applies across industries, I’ve seen some of the strongest results in low-trust environments where skepticism is high and growth is hardest to unlock. That’s where loyalty becomes a true competitive advantage. In those settings, most companies rely on tactics rooted in self-interest, which leads to disengaged teams, guarded customers, and stalled growth. I help leaders replace that with a honor-based approach that increases connection, strengthens relationships, and drives demand. Part of what shaped this work comes from my own experience. Earlier in my life and career, I struggled with performance anxiety, which forced me to confront how much of my focus was on myself… how I was performing and how I was being perceived. When that shifted, everything changed. I began to see that the same self-focus shows up in business and quietly erodes trust. Since then, I’ve delivered over 1,500 talks and spent over 10,000 hours guiding professionals across a wide range of industries, shaping how they lead, build relationships, and show up in their work. My work shows that even in the most skeptical environments, loyalty can be rebuilt and become a multiplier for growth. What I bring to podcasts is a clear, bridging the gap between mindset and measurable business outcomes. I bring practical frameworks, real-world application, and a clear message: in low-trust environments, people skills aren't soft skills… they are the competitive advantage.

    Abstract Essay, now in its sixth season, features George Little as my guest a creative mind who designs, builds, and tinkers with ideas, projects, and innovations driven by curiosity, passion, and experimentation, sharing thought-provoking insights on

    George Little I design, build, and tinker. Always for fun, sometimes for money. I'm George, a designer, tech entrepreneur, and outdoor enthusiast! I have an equal love for tinkering with AI as I do hiking with my dogs. Here's a little backstory on who I am and what makes me tick... Originally from the Philly area, I studied architecture at Syracuse and thinking I was going to be a black turtleneck wearing new york architect, moved to Brooklyn to work for one of the big name firms. After a few years, I realized this wasn't for me. It dawned on me that the part of my job I liked the most I was doing the least of: graphic design & technology. I found I was much better at pitching building designs, marketing the company's brand, and tinkering with technology to improve our efficiencies and workflows. So I pivoted my career to "graphic design" which lead me to an AI company where I learned about startups, remote-work, SaaS marketing, and building a business that serves the tech community. Years later, I now run my own remote-only consultancy that aims to work with startups and venture-backed companies to build/improve their brands and websites. I spend my workdays balanced between client work, marketing my own business, and tinkering on projects I find interesting... like VetResumes.com, Archive51.art, Stacked.camp, to name a few. More recently I've been trying to slash my AI company subscriptions by building my own system on the back of a bunch of used mac minis. Outside of work, I'm a big nature lover. I've hiked, camped, kayaked, trailered, overlanded, and backpacked all over this country (and a splash of Canada). My wife and I recently moved our family to Oregon to purse a long-time dream of running a PNW flower farm (which i will, of course, find a reason to apply technology).
