Welcome to the Be Better Tribe Podcast!
I've always wanted to start a podcast. After a health scare that forced me to pause take a hard look at my life and rethink what actually matters. I don’t have all the answers but I do believe in the power of reflection and honest conversations. This podcast will be centered around moments of inspiration, impactful connections, and a focus on being better. Each episode will consist of something that caught my attention recently, an interview or impactful topic, and engagement with listeners (call and text in).
No gurus. No perfection. Just honest stories lessons learned the hard way and reminders to enjoy the ride while we’re on it.

What does it take to set an ambitious goal and actually achieve it?
In this episode of Be Better Tribe, I sit down with Emily Byrne, a former Division I athlete who transitioned from marketing into sales and became the fastest-promoted SDR in Gong history.
Emily shares her journey of taking risks, overcoming rejection, and embracing discomfort to accelerate her career. We discuss how her competitive mindset, daily habits, curiosity, and commitment to continuous improvement helped her achieve a goal she set on her very first day.
Key Takeaways:
Get comfortable being uncomfortable: Growth happens when you push beyond what's familiar.
Bet on yourself: Don't let fear or rejection prevent you from pursuing bigger opportunities.
Build winning habits: Consistency, preparation, and daily routines create long-term success.
Stay curious: Learn from others, seek feedback, and continuously improve your craft.
Embrace the ups and downs: Life and career growth are never linear. The challenges make success more rewarding.
Emily's story is a reminder that success isn't just about talent. It's about grit, discipline, and the willingness to do what others won't.
Show up, stay consistent, and always remember to be better.

Ep. 41 - Nate Pullen: Leader & Friend
In this episode of the Be Better Tribe Podcast, I sit down with longtime colleague and friend Nate Pullen, Director of SDR at Gong. After working together across three companies and more than seven years, Nate and I reflect on leadership, career growth, resilience, and the mindset behind sustained success.
Nate shares his unconventional journey from the Marine Corps and running a restaurant to becoming an SDR and quickly moving into leadership. We explore what separates top performers from everyone else: discipline over motivation, genuine curiosity, coachability, humility, and the willingness to take action even when things get difficult.
We also dive into overcoming negativity, embracing adversity, finding purpose in your work, and why the obstacles we face can become some of our greatest opportunities for growth.
Key Takeaways:
Discipline and consistency beat motivation.
Stay curious and seek answers instead of waiting for them.
Coachability requires humility and a willingness to learn.
Obstacles, failure, and adversity are opportunities for growth.
Focus your energy on what you can control.
Your systems and daily actions ultimately shape your future.
When things get hard: “Shut up, suit up, and show up.”
Success isn't about avoiding difficult moments. It's about developing the mindset, habits, and discipline to keep moving through them.
Show up. Stay consistent. And always remember to be better.

Ep. 40 - Trade Offs
Every meaningful choice comes with a trade-off. In this episode, I reflect on how the decisions we make with our careers, relationships, health, and time shape where we ultimately end up.
I share personal examples of choosing growth over comfort and how different decisions can compound over time. The goal isn’t to sacrifice everything—it’s to be intentional about what you’re saying yes to and what you’re willing to say no to.
Key Takeaways:
Every yes means saying no to something else.
Get clear on your priority.
Name the trade-off you’re willing to make.
Build systems that support the choices that matter most.
The choices you make today shape where you’ll be tomorrow. Show up, stay consistent, and always remember to be better.
