Overview

In the first episode of Curious as Hell, Tyler Chisholm hands the mic to fellow podcaster and former journalist Leah Sarich, who turns it right back on him. What unfolds is one of the most candid leadership conversations Tyler has had on record. He walks through the moments that shaped his thinking: the 360 feedback that changed how he ran every meeting, the fixed vs. growth scorecard he built during COVID, and the direct line between building a curious culture and growing clearmotive's profit margins with 10 fewer staff.

Season 1 is about the risk of certainty. This is where it begins.
