Most leaders think culture just happens. It doesn’t.
In Episode #122 of the Cabrera Lab Podcast, we explain why culture isn’t mysterious—and why building it is more like marketing than most people realize.
We explore:
• Why culture is simply shared mental models
• Why every organization already has culture (whether intentional or not)
• Why leadership is often diagnosis + teaching
• How the best organizations create alignment without micromanaging
• Why changing behavior means changing mental models first
If people are rowing in different directions, you don’t have a people problem. You have a culture problem.

“I’m trying.” But… are you?
In Episode #121 of the Cabrera Lab Podcast, we unpack one of the most common phrases people use—and why it sometimes keeps us stuck.
We explore:
• The difference between trying and doing
• Why feedback shouldn’t trigger defensiveness
• How language can distance us from reality
• Why integrity means aligning what you say with what you do
• How better communication starts with awareness—not reaction
Sometimes “I’m trying” isn’t perseverance. Sometimes it’s permission to avoid reality.
