Ep #149: What Are We Actually Chasing? | Redefining Success with Dr. Brandi Stankovic

What are we actually chasing?

Likes?

Applause?

Recognition?

Or real impact?

In this episode of The H.I.T. Podcast, Dr. Brandi Stankovic, Ed.D. joins us fresh off her recent TED talk to challenge the modern definition of “success” — especially the kind fueled by online praise and performative wins.

We explore:

• Why fake happiness and surface-level validation are so easy to chase

• How leaders unintentionally reward the wrong behaviors

• What organizations should really be measuring

• How to build cultures rooted in meaningful work — not optics

If you lead people, influence culture, or care about what your organization is truly optimizing for, this conversation is a must-watch.

This one goes deeper than tactics — it’s about intention.
