A Revel Podcast · Hosted by Jason Piasecki
Real leaders. Real cultures. Real conversations.
The Winning Cultures Podcast goes inside the companies people actually want to work for, and the leaders intentionally building them. No buzzwords. No perks talk. Just honest conversations about how culture gets made.
Every month, Revel partner Jason Piasecki sits down with a Michigan business leader who’s done the work of building a culture people want to be part of. The result is a quiet, candid leader-to-leader conversation about what they decided, what they got wrong, what’s working now, and what it actually looks like to attract and keep the right people.
