    The Ego Trap: How Leaders Sabotage Themselves (and Their Teams)

    What if the biggest obstacle in your business isn’t the market, the competition, or even your resources but your own ego?

From shady influences to leadership blind spots, we pull back the curtain on the hidden dangers that can bring down even the strongest business if left unaddressed. But it’s not all warning signs we also dive into practical solutions. You’ll hear how to balance ego with humility, why leaders must lead by example, and how building mutual understanding with your team creates lasting success.

  2. The Truth About How Divorce Affects Children

    The Truth About How Divorce Affects Children

    Our scars from childhood can follow us long into our adulthoods, and they often manifest in ways we may not realize or fully understand. In this episode of Never in Reverse, Doug and Jeremy discuss their childhoods as children of divorce, and the fear of abandonment that resulted from their childhood struggles. This insightful conversation focuses on emotional growth, security, and healing.  Jeremy and Doug begin by discussing their parents’ divorces. Divorce was different in Doug’s family and in Jeremy’s, and both learned from their parents’ experiences and carried traumas with them. Next, they explore how coming from a broken home can lead to fearing abandonment, and what healing has looked like for them.  For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [0:00] Introduction [2:52] Today’s episode topic is near and dear to Doug and Jeremy: growing up with a divorced parent. This can be a touchy topic, particularly as the feelings you experience as a child manifest in unexpected ways as an adult.  [4:55] Doug’s parents divorced about a month before his fifth birthday. They were very transparent about what was going on, and Doug never felt that it was his fault. [8:22] Doug didn’t feel any toxic pressure from his parents during the divorce. His parents were very young and did the best that they could.  [10:32] Jeremy grew up in an unsafe environment due to his parents’ divorce. He found refuge in his friends and in sports. [15:01] Doug always viewed his father and stepmom as a safe place, so they proved his fear of abandonment wrong. However, there were still elements he missed in his connection with his mom. [18:09] Jeremy still struggles with his fear of abandonment. He found some safety in his stepdad’s family and in his Aunt Diana.  [25:55] Doug and Jeremy sometimes still have unrealistic expectations of their parents, specifically their mothers, stemming from their childhoods.  FOLLOW US: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/neverinreverse/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/neverinreverse Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/company/never-in-reverse/ Website: https://neverinreverse.com/

  3. The Shocking Reality of Modern Dating = Misread Texts & Instant Rejection

    The Shocking Reality of Modern Dating = Misread Texts & Instant Rejection

    How has dating changed in the last ten years? And what are the most valuable lessons you’ve learned in dating that have shaped how you view relationships today? In today’s episode, Doug and Jeremy discuss dating and relationships, from their journeys with dating and relationships to the current dating scene. Whether you’re looking for love or settled into a relationship, this episode gives valuable insights to help you build and maintain healthy relationships.  Dating apps offer a new tool and a new obstacle to singles as the instant accessibility of apps leads to frequent “ghosting.” Jeremy and Doug discuss the motivations and effects of ghosting, and how dating apps enable instant gratification and the ability to cut anyone off at any time – for better or for worse. For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [0:00] Introduction [3:47] Today’s conversation is about dating. Doug’s first relationship in high school taught him how to deal with heartbreak, and that things will not always work out as they initially seem they will.  [9:32] Jeremy found it easier to hide behind sports and his other interests in early relationships to avoid having to be vulnerable. He learned to take accountability and use mistakes to improve.  [14:47] The dating landscape has changed dramatically over the last ten years. It has become very difficult to date as any small perceived misstep in communication can be the difference between a date and a swipe left. [18:08] The easy abandonment of dating apps can also leave you feeling very vulnerable very quickly, particularly if you have problems with rejection that you have not addressed. [24:47] Boundaries and baggage go hand in hand. In a healthy relationship, you take accountability for your baggage and grow with your partner, whether that is by creating new boundaries or adhering to your partner’s boundaries.  [28:56] Society expects men to keep their personal lives private, which can make it very difficult to open up with someone new.  FOLLOW US: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/neverinreverse/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/neverinreverse Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/company/never-in-reverse/ Website: https://neverinreverse.com/

  4. Are You Overqualified, Or Just Overeducated?

    Are You Overqualified, Or Just Overeducated?

    How do people end up overqualified and underpaid for their work? And what counts as exploitation? Lots of people think that they deserve jobs because of a prestigious degree, but companies are increasingly putting experience first. In today’s episode of Never in Reverse, Doug and Jeremy discuss qualifications, compensation, and exploitation. Learn how to set yourself up for success by putting experience and hands-on skills first. Doug and Jeremy begin by discussing the “overqualification trap” that they see more and more new workers falling into – and how to avoid it. Next, they move on to discussing compensation and how underpayment can be a matter of perspective. Finally, they discuss common misconceptions and myths on exploitation.  For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [0:00] Introduction [4:04] Today’s episode will focus on how people become overqualified and underpaid. Jeremy terms this problem the “overqualification trap,” and he says it has a lot to do with higher education paths people go down. [7:14] Employers are growing tired of applicants presenting a degree as the key piece of evidence that they deserve a job. You have to work your way up, and work experience is becoming much more important as a result. [9:33] Most people who get their higher education in a field do not go into a career in that field.  [13:33] When possible, Jeremy likes to test applicants on skills through hands-on skill testing. This allows him to look past resumes and learn who his candidates are.  [18:54] Fluent Conveyors is a very transparent organization. Jeremy shares his plans for the company’s future with his teams and looks for feedback from all of his employees.  [19:57] Barriers to entry, income limits, and hierarchies can be used to exploit salespeople. Some companies put their sales teams in a box by demanding an unnecessary level of control over them.  [27:26] Environments that do not push their teams do not allow their team members to grow. Organizations that recognize the talent they have hired push their staff to perform at their best.

  5. Education in America – Challenges, Reforms, and the Future: What Did Your Kids Learn Today?

    Education in America – Challenges, Reforms, and the Future: What Did Your Kids Learn Today?

    What did your kids learn today? In today’s episode of Never in Reverse, Doug and Jeremy discuss their experiences with public education. The cohosts are both fathers of children in schools – Doug’s children attend public school while Jeremy’s attend a private preschool, but previously attended a public program. Learn how public education is shifting to accommodate new technology, new curriculum, and new ideas – for better or for worse.  Doug and Jeremy begin by discussing their family’s experiences with public school, from Doug’s experiences with new curriculum to the reason Jeremy began investing in private education for his children. Next, they move into higher education and public education more generally, and where they see cultural shifts impacting the education system.  For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [3:58] Today’s episode is about education in America, particularly as it reforms in the current political climate. Jeremy and Doug are fathers whose children go to school, and their perspectives are based on their experiences.  [7:00] Doug has seen changes both in curriculum and in the technology his children use at school.  [10:31] Jeremy has a four-year-old and a five-year-old, both of which go to a private school. Jeremy says that he now has to pay for the experience that public schools gave him as a child, because public schools can no longer provide it. [16:59] For the most part, there is no reason to go to an Ivy League any more for a general degree. In the current job market, an English degree is not going to get you a career than will pay for your education.  [21:40] Student loans are a hot-buitton political issue. Jeremy says that while people have to take responsibility for their financial decisions, there is also an inherent difficulty in being held responsible for a financial decision you make as a teenager. [29:10] Jeremy is seeing a massive shift in technology that he believes will revolutionize education, and may eventually make public education as we know it obsolete.  FOLLOW US: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/neverinreverse/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/neverinreverse Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/company/never-in-reverse/
