John O’Brien has been a business owner for decades, yet still had a “Wait… me?” reaction to being called an entrepreneur. He joins host Michi Lantz to unpack what keeps experts invisible, why marketing feels loaded in helping professions, and how leaders build better teams by focusing on the how, not just the what. Civility included.
