If you’ve ever wondered how to scale without losing yourself in the process, how to build a high-performing team without the hiring headaches, or how to stay connected to your vision when the pressure is on—this is the show for you.

[S5, Ep46] No Ego, No Power Struggles: Inside a High-Trust Leadership Model With The Team from Artemis Factor
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Three co-founders. Seven years in. But every expert told them it would never work...
When Shannon, Katrina, and Tara started Artemis Factor, the advice was unanimous: "Three founders is too many!"
They were told that someone needs to be at the top. That two is already hard so three is a disaster waiting to happen. And yet here they are, seven years later, leading a thriving consultancy in the pharmaceutical space with a model built on high trust, shared leadership, and a genuinely radical commitment to putting the human back into how we build businesses!
✨ Episode Highlights
🤝 Why the "one person at the top" model isn't the only way, and what shared leadership actually looks like when it's working beautifully
🔥 The difference between productive tension and conflict, and why healthy debate, contradiction, and disagreement can actually be the thing that moves a business forward
🪞 What it really means to drop the ego as a daily practice inside a leadership team
😊 The PERMA happiness model and how Artemis Factor has built a data-driven culture of joy that ripples from their team to their clients to their patients
You are going to love this high-performing team, and their insight about building enough trust, that when someone says I need to tap out this week, the answer is always "we've got you."
