HELP! I Need to Scale Our Company Culture
GUEST: Aaron Boggs
This week, I sat down with Aaron Boggs, the dynamic CEO and founder of Infinite CXO. Aaron is not just a visionary leader but someone who believes deeply in fostering collaborative, people-first workplaces. His company connects businesses with fractional C-suite executives, offering game-changing leadership without the long-term commitment. We share a mutual passion for working with great people and avoiding toxic environments—and yes, Aaron's energy is as infectious as it is inspiring.
RECAP OF OUR CONVO
In our chat, Aaron and I explored the power of servant leadership (it needs a rebrand, right?) and how psychological safety is a must-have for innovative, thriving teams. Aaron shared how Infinite CXO prioritizes matching businesses with executives who bring experience and strategy to help teams level up—often delivering in weeks what would take months. We also dove into scaling culture as businesses grow, the challenges of being vulnerable as leaders, and the importance of sharing knowledge across all levels of a company. Oh, and we had a good laugh about those "instant CEO coaches" you see on LinkedIn!
