  • Culture Cost: How “Soft” Vibes Kill Performance with Adin Bradley
    Apr 2 2026

    Inconsistent results across locations? Burned-out managers? Frustrated top performers?
    The root cause is often a culture in shambles.

    In this Thursday's episode, host Jamie West Falasz invites teammate and Fractional COO Executive, Adin Bradley, back to show for an honest look at why “soft” cultures - where expectations aren’t enforced - quietly destroy performance and organizational value. Tune in to hear first-hand how strong cultures orchestrate shared values, operational alignment and scalability across every site.

    Because culture isn’t about perks, positivity, or good intentions. It’s the operating system of your organization.
