🎙️When Metrics Meet the Heart: The Science of Relationship Fitness | William "Wagz" Wagner
What happens when the same mind that builds billion-dollar systems turns that precision inward, to measure love, trust, and truth?
Description:
.
Most leaders think of measurement as data, numbers, and KPIs. But what if the real key performance indicators of your life are emotional: trust, respect, and alignment?
.
In Part 2 of this raw, revealing conversation, William "Wagz" Wagner and Dov Baron dive deeper into how an engineer-turned-coach built a framework to quantify the unquantifiable: the health of your relationships.
.
Wagz shows how the same systems that transform corporations can heal marriages, friendships, and teams. Together, they unpack the uncomfortable truth that most people don't actually want better relationships, they want the other person to get better.
.
As Dov says,
"I've watched countless leaders hide behind their spreadsheets—until their marriages collapse."
.
This episode cuts through the illusion of control, revealing how self-awareness, emotional honesty, and measurable accountability can rebuild the very connections that success too often erodes.
