The Ripple Effect Podcast with Steve Harper
There’s a strange pressure a lot of us feel right now. We’re supposed to be innovative, strategic, emotionally intelligent, creative, calm under pressure, and still have enough left at the end of the day for the people we love. That’s a lot. And that’s why I appreciated this conversation with David Lowe-Rogstad. David has spent more than 25 years at the forefront of creative technology, building teams, companies, and brands through constant change. On paper, he has a history degree. In practice, he’s been helping people and organizations stay relevant since 1997. But what really...

Maybe it’s a narcissistic boss who turns every meeting into a scoreboard. Maybe it’s a narcissistic coworker who can’t share credit. Maybe it’s a client, a partner, a friend, the person you cannot fully avoid. You...

I honestly can’t believe we are kicking off Season 11 of The Ripple Effect Podcast. This episode is really just me sitting down with you and talking about where this show has been, where it’s going, and why I’m more excited about this season than any season we’ve done before.

This show has never been about perfection or overly produced visuals. It’s about real conversations, real people, and real lessons that actually matter in...
