On the Impactful Teamwork Podcast, Julia Felton interviews Anthony Garone, founder of Edify Content, which helps B2B tech companies create sales and marketing content.
Anthony shares how he discovered writing as his “superpower” after years in IT leadership and a company acquisition, then went all-in on content when COVID ended face-to-face selling.
The conversation focuses on authentic leadership, helping team members bring their whole selves to work, and building strong relationships to uncover hidden talents. Anthony argues many leaders get stuck playing a role, and advises subtracting what isn’t essential to better serve customers, using the question “How is that working for you?” to cut through reality distortion.
He challenges “just keep grinding” advice and leaves listeners with his key message: be serious and reject the reasonable life.
