"We need to ask the hard questions." - Ben Baker

Think your business is all about strategy and tech? Think again! Ben and Syya get real about the true game-changer in business: people, and the tough questions we avoid asking them.

From dodging conflict to dancing around difficult conversations, this episode is your no-fluff guide to leading with empathy, owning accountability, and sparking honest dialogue that fuels growth, not gossip. If you've ever felt like you're tiptoeing through team dynamics or avoiding a much-needed "we need to talk"... this one's for you.

🎯 Topics that’ll hit home to #GnawOnThis:

• Why people are your X factor, not your problem
• The power of asking uncomfortable questions (yes, even that one)
• How to handle conflict without crushing morale
• Emotional intelligence in leadership (it’s not just a buzzword)
• Why honest feedback is your brand’s best defense
• And why not everyone will be happy—and that’s totally okay

This episode is packed with insights, laughs, and leadership truths that might sting a little, but will strengthen your team and your brand a whole lot.
