Let’s be honest. Most companies say “people are our greatest asset,” but then act like HR is a liability. CEOs view HR as a checkbox. CCOs see brand as a consumer facing experience CFOs see it as an expense with no ROI. Culture is too often shaped by who signs the paychecks — not by shared purpose or people-first practices. If we want to build workplaces that truly  work  — for employees and the bottom line — we have to start by telling the truth. Here are just a few of the hard realities leaders face every day: Feedback rarely makes it to the people who need it most. Company values vanish during budget cuts. Engagement surveys often smooth over deeper issues or go performatively addressed. Top talent leaves Exits are often predictable and preventable. Workplace conflicts often start with compensation inequities. And HR wins? They're mostly invisible. These aren't symptoms of bad intent. They’re symptoms of misaligned priorities.

Running a small business isn’t for the faint of heart. From managing day-to-day operations to hiring the right people, keeping up with changing regulations, and staying true to your mission—it’s a constant balancing act.

Without clarity, even the most talented teams will drift. Clear expectations, roles, values, and goals allow people to focus, prioritize, and contribute in m...

For nearly two decades, I’ve been building companies, including my own, rooted in wellness and lifestyle—with a mission to help communities and individuals live more optimized, balanced lives. Most recently, I spent six years growing  THE WELL , a leading startup in luxury wellness hospitality. So many believe they have to make time for being well. But wellness shouldn’t be reserved for destination retreats or spa getaways. While those are wonderful, true well-being is most impactful when it’s embedded in our everyday lives —easily accessible within our communities, workplaces, and routines. After a three-year search, I now live in a location that fully embodies this: a place where wellness, longevity, recovery, nutrition, mindfulness, spiritual connection, and community are part of daily life—not an occasional indulgence or escape. And it’s time more developments and workplaces followed suit. Whether you're a: ✅ Residential developer looking to create high-value spaces that a...
