    Ep. 1105 Micha Mims | Building Championship Cultures Where Everyone Feels Valued

    Teamwork takes center court today as Joel chats with a decorated college basketball star who has spent a lifetime winning the right way. Her name is Micha Mims, Founder and CEO of Valued. She doesn't coach inclusivity from a whiteboard-she's lived it, from every role on a team where the choice is always the same: come together or fall apart. By believing differences are the advantage and tough conversations build champions, she empowers organizations to stop playing not to lose, and start building trust that moves the needle. Leadership is about to meet the locker room, and culture will decide who wins.
