This week on The Culture Coach Podcast, Wendy sits down with Dave McDonald, founder of the Better Together Group and host of the WTF Podcast, to talk about the unconventional path that led him from being “fired from every good job he ever had” to running a thriving family of staffing agencies dedicated to feeding families one shift at a time.

Dave’s story is full of humility, humor, and heart. Together, Wendy and Dave unpack:

• How early experiences shaped Dave’s people-first leadership philosophy
• The challenges of building culture across remote and on-site teams
• The importance of clarity, consistency, and communication in leadership
• Why understanding individuals — not just roles — is the key to sustainable culture
• How leaders can balance compassion with accountability

This is a must-listen for any entrepreneur or leader who’s ever questioned whether they were “cut out” for leadership — and a reminder that great cultures aren’t built by accident; they’re built through intentional connection and consistency.
