Episode Synopsis


What does it really take to build a workplace culture where people thrive? Today, we’re getting a masterclass from someone who’s done it at scale – and lived to tell the tale.



Meet Philip Averett, Co-Owner of Tru Taekwondo and a leader who knows what it means to grow a team from the ground up. Before his current venture, Philip launched a company in Lewisville, NC, with just two people and scaled it to hundreds of employees. That kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident – it happens through intentional, people-first leadership.



With decades of hands-on experience building and leading high-performing teams, Philip brings hard-won wisdom about what makes culture work (and what makes it fall apart). This conversation is full of those mic-drop moments that make you pause, rewind, and take notes.



In this episode, Philip unpacks:




How to create a feedback culture where people actually want to contribute



The power of company clarity – and why your team can’t execute a vision they don’t understand



Leadership lessons learned from managing rapid growth and organizational transitions



Practical, implementable strategies you can apply to your own team today



The difference between culture that’s talked about and culture that’s lived




Whether you’re leading two people or two hundred, this episode is packed with actionable insights on building the kind of culture that attracts talent, retains top performers, and drives real results.



Fair warning: You’re going to want a notebook handy for this one.
