Consulting Uncensored
The good, the bad and the ugly of the world of consulting.
Consulting Uncensored is where we have straight talk on key topics impacting the consulting industry. Hosted by industry veteran Neal McNamara, who is never short on unfiltered opinions on most things but in particular matters of strategy, leadership, talent and culture.
With decades of experience building and leading high-performing consulting teams, Neal sits down with other industry participants, investors, executives and consumers of consulting services to talk openly about realities of the industry - especially realities that many don't openly discuss or analyze.
Whether you’re a veteran in the industry, early in your career or someone considering a career in consulting, Consulting Uncensored offers an unfiltered look at the industry, what it takes to succeed and ways to grow and build great practices and/or businesses with some fun and entertaining dialogue along the way.
No consulting speak. Real talk. No filters.

Leading from the Front: How to Build and Lead Boutique Consulting Firms
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most consulting leaders say “people are our greatest asset,” then design firms where the best people burn out, stall out, or quietly leave. In this episode, Neal sits down with Jason Gandy, CEO of Performance Improvement Partners, a technology advisory and private equity–focused consulting firm, to examine what it actually looks like to lead from the front in a modern consulting business where careers, culture, and revenue all collide.
Listen in as they discuss the real implications of running a player coach model, refusing to “promote on potential,” and treating delivery as more than just fulfillment work. You’ll hear how leadership style, business development strategy, and compensation design connect in consulting and private equity portfolio company work, as well as why those links quietly determine who stays, who leaves, and how fast your consulting firm can grow.
