🎙️ "Relationship Fitness: The Hidden Discipline Behind Business, Love, and Leadership."
What if the universal currency of business isn't money … but relationships?
Description:
He's an engineer turned business architect turned relational revolutionary.
.
For decades, William "Wagz" Wagner helped organizations and leaders engineer change. But it wasn't until he began confronting the patterns in his own history, forty years of marriage, ten grandchildren, and a lifetime of corporate transformation, that he realized: the same principles that build great companies are the ones that build great relationships.
.
In this first part of their delicious conversation, Dov Baron and Wagz unpack how emotional logic, unmet expectations, and assumed agreements quietly erode trust in families, teams, and organizations.
.
They dismantle the myth that relationships "work out," and replace it with a measurable, trainable model for what Wagz calls "Relationship Fitness."
.
I've watched countless leaders hide behind their spreadsheets until their marriages collapse. Because the truth is, every business problem is a relationship problem in disguise.
.
Whether you're leading a company or trying to save a marriage, this episode will redefine how you see communication, alignment, and commitment, and why they're the true currencies of leadership.
