This episode explores how to overcome the stigma around selling by reframing it as a path to leadership and growth. It breaks down how to turn ego into productive drive, lead through influence rather than title, and build a sales culture that performs without constant oversight. You’ll learn how to handle top performers who hurt team morale, remove the victim mindset that slows down momentum, and create a culture where recognition is earned, not assumed.
