About this episode

Larry Weidel interviews Joe Terry about leadership and high-performance culture.

What if the defining difference between billionaires and everyone else isn't talent but an unshakeable belief in your ability to shape outcomes? In this episode of Big Hitters, Larry Weidel sits down with Joe Terry, a former NFL linebacker turned five-time CEO and "Culture Architect." They dive deep into the "Results Equation"—a framework that aligns purpose and strategy with a high-performance culture to drive sustained transformation. Whether you are leading a sales team or an entire enterprise, Joe reveals how to lead from a place of abundance rather than fear, and why your "oxygen mask" must be on first if you want your organization to breathe.
