On this BizBlend podcast episode, Sana sits down with leadership expert and author Alaina Love to unpack what really fuels sustainable performance in high pressure businesses. Instead of obsessing over KPIs and dashboards, Alaina drills into purpose, passion archetypes and values alignment as the real drivers of resilient culture, especially during mergers, acquisitions and rapid growth. She explains how her Passion Profiler framework and book “Permission to Be You” help founders, executives and teams connect what they do with who they are, so work stops being a grind and becomes a meaningful expression of self. If you are a founder, leader or solopreneur trying to scale without burning everyone out, this conversation will challenge how you hire, build teams and show up as a leader.
About the Guest:
Alaina Love is a former research scientist and global head of HR at Merck who now works with leaders and organizations on purpose driven culture, values based leadership and passion aligned careers. She is the author of “Permission to Be You. Discover Your Purpose and Passion to Bring Your Best Self to Everything and Everyone”and the creator of the Passion Profiler, a tool that maps ten passion archetypes to strengths, risks and ideal work environments. Through consulting, speaking and writing, she helps leaders navigate change, avoid burnout and build organizations where people actually want to stay.

Key Takeaways :


Sustainable business results start with leaders who know themselves, understand their own passions and can articulate a clear purpose that goes beyond revenue targets and metrics.


Teams perform better when roles are aligned not only to skills but also to passion archetypes like creator, connector, teacher, altruist, healer, transformer and builder.


Burnout often hits altruists and healers whose energy consistently flows outward. Without boundaries, self care and support, their passion quietly turns into depletion.


Obsession is not the same as passion. Founder “builder” archetypes can slip into a shadow side where feedback is ignored and it becomes “my way or the highway,” which is a fast track to landmines.


Mergers and acquisitions reshape identity. Once two companies join, leaders must re clarify purpose and values with employees, or they risk losing their best people first.


Authentic leadership. Admitting what you do not know, inviting diverse perspectives and practicing what you preach. Builds trust, psychological safety and long term engagement.


“Permission to Be You” explores how passion archetypes influence not only careers but also parenting, crisis decisions, grief and relationships, supported by tools like the Passion Profiler and a free reader toolkit at permissiontobook.com.
