<![CDATA[Leading Locked In]]>Two friends. 29 years. Still talking.

Elliott and Erik grew up walking home together and hanging out in Erik’s parents’ basement. One went on to build businesses. One is still serving. Now they sit down and talk leadership, work, and life: what’s working, what isn’t, and what they’re still figuring out.

No scripts. No guru stuff. Just two friends who know their stuff and give each other a hard time.

New episodes every other Sunday at 9 AM ET.

Every leader has said it. But every time you do, you teach your team to wait for you. The real problem usually started earlier, with expectations nobody ever made clear. In our first episode, lifelong friends Elliott Quinones and Erik Ortiz take on "leadership by telepathy," the habit of expecting people to just know what you want. We cover how to set clear expectations from day one, why skipping that step drives good people out the door, why positive feedback is the most underused tool you have, and how to run a formal review with zero surprises. The rule of thumb: Define the win. Talk it. Then write it down.
