My Son Called Me Out for Bad Leadership — with David McGlennen

Join hosts Tim Tannert, CEO of BetterRX and Certified EOS Implementer, and Josh Roberts, CEO of USA Talent Solutions, as they dive into the wins, failures, and the crazy leadership stories you truly can’t make up.

This week’s guest, David McGlennen, CEO culture expert and executive coach, brings over three decades of experience in the insurance and wellness industries before launching Impact Leadership Consulting. David works with leadership teams to design intentional cultures that actually get lived out—not just framed on a wall.

From getting fired 10 months into a new city with a family of seven, to hiring his own son as his bookkeeper (and getting called out for overspending), David shares candid stories about vulnerability, accountability, and growth. He also talks about why CEOs have to become teachers of their values, how to have the tough conversations leaders often avoid, and what it means to build a family culture at work without the unhealthy baggage.

If you’ve ever wondered how to hold people accountable to values, or what it feels like when your kid calls out your leadership flaws—it’s all here.
