ALIGNMENT FIRST PODCAST

Mycal Anders has spent decades watching talented leaders optimize the wrong things. The effort is there. The strategy looks good. But something is off.

This podcast is about finding it. Each week Mycal sits down with leaders, founders, and guests who are figuring out what aligned work actually looks like, and talking about it honestly.

Alignment first. Progress always.
