Drop Date: November 4, 2025
PODCAST SHOW NOTE THUMBNAIL DESCRIPTOR
In this episode, Louie Sharp explores giving as a core leadership value—authentic, unconditional, and year-round. He urges leaders to show genuine appreciation and gratitude to strengthen relationships and “emotional bank accounts.” Louie contrasts transformational giving (without strings) with transactional giving (expecting returns), sharing personal examples like sending appreciation texts, treating partners to lunch, and practicing self-care. This podcast was born from a desire to counter corporate greed with love-driven leadership, reminding listeners that what you give freely always comes back to you.
