🎧 EP55 – From Mediocracy to Mastery 🧭 Rewiring Leadership

🏷️ How to escape organization mediocracy!

Most teams aren’t broken — their leadership is underpowered.

In this pivotal episode, Calm Capital’s Marty Balkema and David Horne reveal what really fuels sustainable growth: stewardship, not transformation.

From owning vertical SaaS companies to rebuilding cultures from the boardroom down, Calm Capital shows us what happens when leadership gets the coaching, clarity, and support it actually needs.

🧠 Inside the episode:

• Why 91% of digital transformations fail — and how stewardship flips the equation.
• The secret sauce behind Calm Capital’s high-performing software portfolio.
• Why emotional trauma, burnout, and disengagement are the hidden cost of leadership neglect.
• How the Unicorns’ Ecosystem pairs a SW Craftsmanship Dojo for developers with a dedicated evolution track for C-levels and boards — covering governance, OKRs, coaching, and strategy design.
• Real stories: how a 130-year-old sock manufacturer saved millions by starting small and leading smarter.

🎯 This is the playbook for rewiring leadership and turning mediocracy into mastery — from founders to investors to boardroom chairs.
