At some point, we all find ourselves holding on to something we know isn't working.

A habit. A relationship. A team member.

And we have really good reasons for it. Fear, convenience, comparison, not wanting to rock the boat.

But what if the cost of holding on is higher than the cost of letting go?

In this episode, I sit down with Jacob Brown, author of Avocado Leadership and one of the speakers at this year's Intentional Leader Summit. We dig into a principle he calls slow to hire, quick to fire, and we take it way beyond the workplace.

In this episode we talk about:

Why leaders hold on to toxic team members longer than they should, and what it's actually costing them

How the behavior you tolerate as a leader defines the culture you create

The "I know, I'm not, I'm open" framework for having courageous conversations

Why boundaries aren't rules you set for other people

How to stop holding on out of fear, convenience, or sunk cost
