The Tyler Dickerhoof Show is a podcast for leaders who want to make an impact without losing themselves in the process. Hosted by leadership coach and author Tyler Dickerhoof, the show explores the real forces shaping how we lead—mindset, insecurity, ownership, relationships, faith, and vision—often more than strategy ever will. Through personal stories, practical frameworks, and conversations with leaders, thinkers, and high performers, Tyler challenges listeners to do the inner work that leads to healthier leadership and lasting impact. In Tyler’s upcoming book, The Things We Hide, he shares his personal journey and the lessons learned from confronting insecurity, identity, and responsibility. This podcast expands on those themes—but goes far beyond them—bringing real-time conversations, fresh insights, and honest dialogue to the challenges leaders face today.

Episode #267
Ep 267 The Growth You're Avoiding Is the Growth Your Business Needs w/Brad Sugars
Aug 16, 202649 min
What hides inside you controls you. What you face transforms you. In this episode, host Tyler Dickerhoof sits down with Brad Sugars — founder and CEO of ActionCOACH, the world's number one business coaching franchise with over 1,000 locations across 80 countries. Brad built a global empire, yet for years quietly avoided the spotlight. It took Gary Vaynerchuk telling him to "suck it up" in front of a thousand people to shift that. What followed was a deeper question: what are you hiding, and what is it costing you? Brad and Tyler dig into the real reasons business owners refuse to get out of their own way, the three stages of growth from manager to CEO to chairperson, and why the business is always building you whether you're ready or not. Brad shares his formula for goal-setting and action, why "how" is the enemy of every great goal, and what it took to blow up everything he built and rebuild it for a billion-dollar vision. If you're a business owner stuck in your own business, a leader who finds it lonely at the top, or someone who's been playing small because of a wound you haven't named yet, you'll enjoy this conversation.

Ep 266 Ask, Don't Tell: What It Takes to Lead People Well with Josh Zolin
Aug 9, 202645 min
On this episode, host Tyler Dickerhoof, sits down with Josh Zolin, former Hollywood stuntman turned CEO of Windy City Equipment, an eight-figure HVAC company he inherited from his father and built into an Inc. 5000 business. Josh unpacks the leadership shift that changed everything for him: moving from telling people what to do, to asking questions that help them conclude it themselves. He goes deep on authenticity (and why the word itself can breed inauthenticity), the difference between power and force, what it really means to lead with empathy, and how vulnerability in a boardroom — or a termination meeting — can be your greatest asset. Josh is also the author of Blue Is the New White and host of the podcast Everything They Don't Tell You .

Aug 2, 202642 min
Host Tyler Dickerhoof sits down with Erika Alessandrini — executive coach, facilitator, and author of Maybe It's Me — for a raw, honest conversation about what it really costs to be a high performer. Erika spent over two decades in corporate leadership before a brutally honest 360 review cracked open something she couldn't ignore: the results were real, but so was the damage. This conversation takes you down the childhood wounds that drive adult overachievement, the difference between controlling and leading, and why the people who need this work most are often the last ones to see it. Key Talking Points: Why high performers stay stuck: the beliefs that fuel chronic overcommitment and under-satisfaction Erika's 360 feedback wake-up call, and why she still didn't believe it at first Growing up with an alcoholic father and learning that performance = protection The difference between control and shared power. Why one destroys relationships How fear disguises itself as responsibility and caring The "justification + postponement" pattern that keeps high performers stuck for years Erika's nonprofit work at Aileron and her new program, Becoming a Leader at Peace Connect with Erika on LinkedIn Learn more about Erika: Website Get a copy of Erika's Book: Maybe It's Me Subscribe: The Impact Driven Leader Newsletter
Ep 264 Redefining Leadership with Championship Basketball Coach Hunter Price
Jul 26, 202648 min
Ten seconds left. Down by one. His teammate is one point away from a milestone most players never reach. He has the shot. He doesn't take it. That single decision is the philosophy behind this episode. Record-setting former Wisconsin high school basketball coach and author Hunter Price joins host, Tyler Dickerhoof, to expose the lie almost every team believes: that everyone in the room "cares." They don't. Not really. And until you can tell the difference, you're coaching, managing, or leading blind. Hunter introduces his framework of four team archetypes: the Sloth (selfless but doesn't work hard), the Vortex (works hard but selfish), the Ally, and the Heartbeat — the rare person whose work ethic and selflessness pull the whole team forward. Tyler and Hunter dig into real world leadership examples including: Why comparison was the biggest mindset shift Hunter had to make to grow as a leader The generational shift from "what" to "how" to "why," and why today's teams need to trust you before they'll follow you Calling people "up" instead of calling them "out" Why hiring an assistant is really a test of pride and humility An unfiltered MJ vs. LeBron debate that turns into a lesson on leadership identity Whether you're coaching a team, running a company, or leading a family, this conversation will change how you think about what it means to care.

Ep 263 The 6 Saboteurs Killing Your Leadership Impact w/ Laurie Maddalena
Jul 19, 202649 min
Ever walked out of a meeting agreeing with everything, then immediately started venting about it in the hallway? That's called back-channeling and it's a silent culture killer. On this episode of the Tyler Dickherhoof show, Tyler sits down with Laurie Maddalena, certified speaking professional and author of The Elevated Leader , to unpack the six leadership saboteurs quietly wrecking teams everywhere. Lack of self-awareness Lack of focus Lack of delegation Lack of team engagement Conflict avoidance And passive leadership Laurie shares a raw story from her own career — watching a brilliant CEO give his team the silent treatment for three days after a disagreement — and what it taught her about psychological safety, insecurity, and why "toxic boss management" shouldn't be an employee's job. In this episode you'll learn: Why the shift from traditional to facilitative leadership demands a completely different skill set The parallel between today's AI overload and the email/cell phone disruption of 2006 Why delegation is really a driving lesson: bumps, scrapes, and all The "80% rule" that frees up your time and grows your team Connect with Laurie: lauriemaddalena.com On LinkedIn: @lauriemaddalena
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities.
