This is a leadership podcast—without the buzzwords, without the bullshit.

Why Not: Lead Like People Matter is for people who are done with performative leadership, toxic systems, and culture initiatives that don’t actually change anything. Hosted by Ryan Sailstad—leadership expert and creator of the Why Not Leadership Method—this show digs into how we lead, how we build, and how we fix broken systems from the inside.

Season One kicks off with seven leadership mantras that challenge the way work usually works, including:
📌 You don’t need the shark.
📌 Comparison kills culture. Collaboration builds it.
📌 A leader’s biggest blind spot is believing they don’t have one.

Ryan is joined this season by co-hosts Rory Sylvia, creator of the RIDE Framework, and Nicole Eisdorfer, a strategist and behavioral researcher with a passion for calling out harmful patterns and building something better.

If you've ever thought,
“Why do we keep doing it this way?”
You're not alone.
Let's lead like people matter.
