Season 3, Bonus 9: The Watchers, The Workers & The Wake-Up Call: Who’s Really Leading Change?

Ever fix a problem—only to be blamed later? Ever show up, offer real support, and get tossed aside with no thanks? In this episode, Daniel Thabudd Nelson and the Sobriety Crew dive deep into emotional labor, broken leadership, and the burnout no one sees.

We explore what happens when truth is silenced, helpers are undervalued, and trust is weaponized. From tech support to team dynamics, it’s all connected—and it’s time to talk about it.

🎧 Featuring:
• Jane Marie (Stats & Facts)
• Chucky Chip (Tech On Deck)
• Marcus the Motivator
• Anna Heryiwego & Curious Joe
• Host: Daniel Thabudd Nelson

💡 Topics include:
• Workplace neglect & emotional disconnect
• Leadership vs. control
• Trust, accountability & recognition
• Tools to patch your culture (Slack, Donut Bot, Officevibe, Reflectly)
• The quiet cost of being “the reliable one”

🔥 Plus, a sneak peek at Season 4:
