In this episode of Healing Mindset, host Yusuf sits down with Rich Ashton to unpack why leadership is a mental health issue at work, and how employee-first culture reduces burnout, conflict, and churn.

This conversation is for business owners, managers, and new leaders who want a practical way to build trust, handle conflict, and develop leaders without corporate jargon. 

Rich Ashton spent 45 years owning small businesses and built an internal leadership training program that helped him retire and leave the company in the hands of leaders he developed. He’s the author of Growing Your Own: A State of Practical Guide for Developing Leaders in Small Businesses. 

• Serve employees well so they can serve customers well

• Defuse customer conflicts by listening first and taking money off the table

• Lead with shared values, and run decisions through them consistently

• Address team conflict fast with a guided, three-person conversation

• Train leaders by raising their self-belief ceiling, not forcing them to copy a boss
