In this episode of Just Some BS, Brandon sits down with executive advisor and leadership powerhouse Liz Weber to uncover the 5 Stages of Focused Leadership Development—and why most leaders never move past Stage 2. 💥

Liz breaks down exactly how founders, CEOs, and HR leaders unintentionally stall their organizations—and how to fix it. From turning chaos into clarity, to creating culture that actually drives business results, this episode is a must-listen for any leader who wants to leave a legacy (and not burn out doing it).

🔥 We also dig into:

  • Why great doers often become terrible managers
  • How to know when your team needs you to step back, not step up
  • The real reason succession planning fails
  • The cultural red flags that derail strategy
  • And how HR can finally get a seat at the leadership table (for real this time)

Whether you're a founder, new leader, or just sick of workplace dysfunction—this episode is for you.

👉 Stay weird, stay leading.
