🚨 95% of AI pilots fail to scale — and it's NOT a tech problem. Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, the guy The New York Times actually nicknamed the "Office Whisperer" 👀, joins Rising Tide to expose the three hidden emotional blockers quietly stalling AI adoption in almost every company: fear, identity threat, and shame. We dig into "AI Alarmists," shadow AI, the now-viral term "work slop," and why psychological safety might be the most underrated leadership skill of the AI era. Dr. Gleb's brand-new book, The Psychology of AI Adoption at Work: From Resistance to Results (Georgetown University Press), is out now 📖 — grab it wherever books are sold. So tell us: is your team quietly afraid of AI, and what are you doing about it? 🤔

AI was supposed to replace people. Instead, companies like Ford and IBM are quietly rehiring the humans they let go — and scrambling to rebuild the bench they tore down.
🏗️ In this episode, Mo and Scotty break down the "panic rehire," why an empty bench costs more than you think 🏈, and the one leadership habit (hint: it involves deposits, not withdrawals 🏦) that keeps you from ever ending up in that position. Plus — a surprising lesson from four guys from Liverpool who spent years getting good before anyone was watching.
🎸 So here's the question: are you building your bench right now, or are you waiting until you need it?

⚓ At 92 years old, Jim Paulk is still teaching us how to live. 💘 A U.S. Naval Academy graduate, submarine officer, and 26-year Procter & Gamble leader, Jim didn't publish his first book until his 80s — and he's not slowing down. In this episode, Jim shares the incredible story of the blind date that led to 60 years of marriage, the nine-year campaign that changed California's marine conservation laws, and the real-life love stories behind his new book, How I Found Love: Stories of Romance and Relationships. 🐟
\📖 From satellites to seabass to soulmates, Jim proves that purpose — and love — don't have an expiration date. 🕊️ So the question is: if relationships are the real measure of a life well-led, are you investing in yours like they matter most? 🌊

He lost everything in the 2008 crash, cried on his bathroom floor, and rebuilt his entire life around a 7-day rhythm — and it might be the missing piece in your leadership routine. 🌊 David Ray Fullmer went from 29 childhood moves and 12 stints in juvenile detention to building multi-million dollar businesses, all while learning the hardest leadership lesson of his life: sometimes the founder has to scrub the toilet.
🧻 In this episode, David breaks down his B7 framework — a superhuman rhythm for turning motivation, gratitude, forgiveness, and intuition into daily leadership habits that actually stick. If you've ever felt scattered, burned out, or unsure how to lead with real influence, this conversation will reset how you think about your week.
🔥 What would change in your leadership if you built a rhythm instead of relying on motivation alone?

🚪 There's a moment right before conflict hits when your body picks a door for you — and most leaders only know two: avoid it or dominate it. Both feel like leadership. Neither one is. 😬
Rolling solo this month, MO breaks down the third door — the one that actually keeps your best people 🤝 — with two simple moves: regulate, then relate. You'll find out why silence isn't peace 🤫, why the strongest teams argue more (not less) 🔥, what it's costing you every time you dodge a hard conversation 💸, and the one little question that defuses almost any tense moment.
Fair warning: you might walk away realizing you're the problem. 😅 Good — that's exactly where growth starts. 🌱
💡 So here's the real question: when the tension rises this week, will you lead the room — or leave it?

What happens when 12 kids get trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand — and the only way out is a team of strangers with completely different skill sets?
🌊 That's exactly where we're starting today. Mo and Scotty break down why the strongest teams aren't built on star power — they're built on knowing your people. We're talking DISC assessments, psychological safety, cross-training your team before crisis hits, and why YOUR behavioral style might be the very thing silencing the people around you.
🎯 Whether you lead a Fortune 500 or a team of five, this episode will challenge how you see yourself as a leader — and give you practical tools to build a team that doesn't break under pressure.
💡 So here's the question — do you actually know the people you're leading, or do you just know their job titles? #RisingTideLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #DISCAssessment #TeamAdaptability #PsychologicalSafety #LeadWithPurpose #LeadershipPodcast #TeamBuilding #InfluenceAndImpact #KnowYourPeople

What happens when 57 airmen — most with zero combat experience — are handed the keys to a top-secret mission and told to go start a war?
🛫 Col. Trey Morriss (USAF, Ret.) takes us inside DOOM 34, the once-classified B-52 strike that opened Operation Desert Storm — 35 hours, 14,000 miles, and enough things going wrong to make your head spin.
🎖️ From losing an engine minutes after takeoff to running on fumes over the Mediterranean, Trey unpacks what real leadership under pressure actually looks like — and why trust, accountability, and preparation aren't things you build when the crisis hits. They're things you build long before it does.
💡 Whether you're leading a boardroom or a bomber crew, this one will challenge everything you think you know about readiness. So here's the question: Are you building the trust your team will need BEFORE the pressure arrives — or are you counting on building it when it's already too late? 🔥

What if the reason your leadership breaks under pressure has nothing to do with skill — and everything to do with your brain? 🧠 Claire Hayek grew up dodging bombs in Beirut, spent 20 years in high-stakes engineering, and discovered something most leaders never see coming: pressure doesn't just slow your decisions down — it quietly hijacks them. 🔥 As a certified neuroscience coach, TEDx speaker, founder of MSP Teambuilding, and author of the forthcoming Calm Under Fire, Claire breaks down the survival patterns running your team without anyone noticing — and exactly how to rewire them. This one will hit different.
💡 So here's the question: when pressure hits, is YOUR brain working for you — or against you?

He flew combat missions over Baghdad. He led a company through layoffs in the AI era. And he says the same three leadership principles got him through both. 🪖➡️
💼 In this episode, Dr. Andy Moye — U.S. Navy combat veteran, former CEO of Paige (the first FDA-approved AI cancer diagnostic), and author of From Bunker Hill to the Boardroom — traces 250 years of his own family's military service to extract leadership lessons that hit just as hard in the boardroom as they did on the battlefield. We get into the near-mutiny story he's never fully told publicly, why he thinks "empathy" might be the most underrated negotiating weapon in business, and why leaders who ignore AI are already losing. 🎯 This one's equal parts war story and leadership masterclass — buckle up.
🚀 So here's the question for you: when your team is losing faith and the outcome is uncertain, what do you do first as a leader?
