Beyond the Gut: Why Assessments Drive Smarter Business Decisions with Dr. Tony Alessandra

What if you could make better business decisions with the same clarity as an MRI—but for the mind?

In this episode of the Business Roundtable Podcast, host David W. Carr sits down with Dr. Tony Alessandra—Hall of Fame speaker, bestselling author of The Platinum Rule, and founder of Assessments 24x7. With over 50 years of experience in professional speaking, leadership training, and assessment development, Tony shares how tools like DISC, Motivators, and Emotional Intelligence unlock self-awareness, strengthen teams, and drive measurable business results.

From selling cookware alongside Zig Ziglar to building a multimillion-dollar assessment company, Tony’s journey is packed with insights on leadership, culture, and the future of assessments in the AI era.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why assessments are like an MRI of the mind and how they reveal hidden strengths
• How DISC and Motivators improve hiring, leadership, and conflict resolution
• The problem with “one-and-done” assessments—and how to maximize their value
• How AI-powered assessments are transforming coaching, sales, and team alignment
• Why knowing yourself is powerful, but knowing others is even more important

Whether you’re a CEO, coach, or consultant, this conversation will challenge you to move beyond gut decisions and leverage data-driven insights to lead with clarity, build trust, and create lasting impact.
