About the Podcast

Welcome to A Leader's Guide to Not Being an Asshole—the podcast for people who want to kick ass in leadership without becoming a toxic, ego-driven nightmare. We’re talking to the women, femmes, and allies who are DONE with the old-school, power-hungry "alpha" bullshit and are ready to lead with empathy, strength, and, yes, a little bit of sass.

This isn’t your typical leadership advice. We’re here to show you how to have the tough conversations, make bold moves, and lead with balls—and still treat people like human beings. And don’t worry, it’s not all talk—these conversations are grounded in solid research, backed by leadership theory, and rooted in real-world examples. No more pretending that leadership means being a dick, talking down to people, or playing the “tough boss” role to feel validated.

We’ll teach you how to navigate office politics without selling out, how to be direct and clear without being an asshole, and how to build a culture where everyone can thrive—especially those who’ve been overlooked, underpaid, and underestimated for too long.

This podcast is for the humans who are ready to lead unapologetically, without playing into the old, patriarchal bullshit. If you're ready to own your power, call out toxic behavior, and do it all without being a total jerk—this is your guide.

Because you don’t have to be a man or an asshole to be a damn good leader.
