What if your business could stop the annual review grind and instead create a culture where every month your team feels seen, heard, and empowered? That’s the question we explore in this episode of Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart as host Steve Ramone sits down with workplace culture visionary Noah (co‑founder of ripplefeedback.com).
Noah opens up as the character in this story whose mission began in 2014 when a simple idea — “make the workplace a better place to work” — met the painful reality of outdated performance reviews. In that moment he experienced frustration and curiosity: why do we gather data once a year and then look backward? Why is engagement so low, turnover so high, and talent management so expensive?
We hear a vivid moment in time when his client unexpectedly shared a testimonial — unsolicited — that revealed the power of monthly feedback surveys to unlock real change. You’ll hear the rustle of dashboards, the quiet anxiety of disengaged teams, and the thrill when culture shifts and engagement rises.
This conversation pulls you into that inner circle of business transformation, and invites you to consider: what ripple effect are you creating in your team today? Whether you lead 5 people or 500, small company or large, the tool and strategy here scale. You’ll walk away with tangible ideas: monthly feedback instead of annual review, anonymous data turning into conversation, celebrating what works and replicating across teams.
If you’re ready to serve your people with a heart and make business impact, this episode is for you.
P.S. After listening, take five minutes and ask your team: “What one thing we could improve if we met monthly instead of yearly?” The answer you get might surprise you.

Guest Bio (Noah):
Noah is the co‑founder of Ripple, the workplace feedback platform that replaces the dreaded annual review with agile, meaningful monthly surveys. A former business leader frustrated by outdated talent practices, he partnered with I‑O psychologist Dr. Frank Schipper to design a culture‑changing solution. Today, Noah helps organizations uncover blind spots, amplify engagement, and turn people into their greatest asset. Beyond the dashboard, he’s a passionate advocate of servant‑leadership, believing every employee deserves more than a once‑a‑year check‑in.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
