A New Episodic Video Series

In a world that never slows down…we all are suffering from digital fatigue and can feel less than human. We need to be reminded of timeless principles from real life.

We uncover the unexpected wisdom hidden in real-world environments, bringing fresh, multidisciplinary perspectives into the business world. Each episode features a documentary-style clip that showcases a different real world situation. Let’s get back to being human…let’s  get rooted in the real world.

Episode 2: Leadership and Healthy Soil

In this episode of Rooted in the Real World, we explore what healthy soil can teach us about strong leadership and thriving teams. Just like soil health determines the strength of a harvest, the unseen foundations of leadership—values, culture, and human connection—shape the success of organizations. Mark Gaydos is joined by Barry Sowerwine to discuss how leaders can cultivate sustainable, people-centered leadership instead of relying on quick fixes that don’t last.
