Totally Unacceptable with Ed Clementi
Some things in leadership, careers, and life don't just frustrate us.
They cost us. Real money. Real ambition. Real years.
Totally Unacceptable is where we name those things — honestly, directly, and without apology.
I'm Ed Clementi. I spent 25 years in financial services, rising from Executive Assistant to Managing Director. What I learned along the way is that the most important conversations — about leadership, about careers, about the life we're building around all of it — are the ones nobody is having out loud.
That changes here.
Some episodes shine a light on the external — the leadership behaviors, the organizational failures, and the cultures that hold great people back. Others turn the lens inward — on the choices we make, the stories we tell ourselves, and the moments where we have to decide who we're going to be.
Because leadership doesn't stay in the office. It follows you home. And how we lead — at work, in our careers, in our lives — matters more than most people are willing to admit.
If you're a professional who refuses to accept less than what you're capable of, this podcast was built for you.
