In This Episode:

Most leaders are drowning in priorities, deploying AI without a strategy, and managing teams across generational gaps they were never trained for. Marcy Comer has lived all of it — and she's still in the trenches.

Marcy is the Chief Marketing Officer at EagleView, with over 26 years of marketing leadership across Amazon, high-growth startups, and Fortune 500 organizations. She's the kind of executive who will tell you exactly what she expects — because she learned the hard way that ambiguity kills performance.

In this episode, Sean and Marcy get into the real stuff: how to lead up without overstepping, how to push back on an impossible ask and actually get more resources, and why most AI deployments are failing not because of the technology — but because of the humans around it.

What you'll learn:

• The "top three" framework Marcy uses with her own CEO to eliminate miscommunication and build trust fast
• How to say yes to a new ask while negotiating what comes off your plate — without damaging the relationship
• What to do when your team is overwhelmed and paralyzed (hint: it starts with a list)
• Why deploying AI without a human in the loop is quietly destroying customer trust — and the metric most leaders aren't tracking
• How to bridge the generational divide on your team when your default is to shut down and push through
