About Training Unleashed
Training Unleashed is a management and workplace training show centered on the belief that training shapes how companies actually perform. It is not abstract leadership talk. The conversations return again and again to supervisors, expectations, culture, communication, and the practical systems that help people work better together. Evan Hackl leads the interviews with a direct, enthusiastic business-radio cadence, often opening with a concrete workplace premise before asking the guest to make it useful. Culture is a major thread. In one episode, Brett Holgeveen connects organizational culture to better leaders, better teammates, and the goal of every employee reporting to a strong supervisor. Another conversation with Brad Englert moves through influence, the power of saying whoa instead of no, budgeting as an expectations tool, and the importance of building relationships across an organization. Tara Londris brings the focus to leadership training for small companies, one-on-ones, high performers, feedback, and strength-based management. Deb Coviello frames leadership around early warning signs, external perspective, crisis prevention, and the discipline to question undocumented processes before they create trouble. Chris Tripoli draws lessons from hospitality, where training happens constantly through selection, onboarding, engagement, and manager development. The show also makes room for less expected subjects, including Frank King discussing mental health comedy and suicide prevention in a training context. Curtis Bateman adds a change-management lens through Franklin Covey and work connected to Who Moved Our Cheese. Across the episodes, the emphasis stays on applied learning: how managers behave, how teams absorb change, and how organizations turn intent into repeatable practice. The show is polished, sponsor-aware, and accessible, but its best moments are specific and operational. It suits business leaders who want examples they can take back to a meeting, a training plan, or a difficult conversation with a team.
Made for: Training Unleashed is for managers, HR leaders, training professionals, and business owners responsible for developing people inside growing organizations. It especially fits leaders looking for usable language around culture, communication, change, and supervisor effectiveness.
What sets it apart: The show stands out by treating training as an operating system for leadership, not a standalone event. Its guests connect big management ideas to concrete workplace routines such as one-on-ones, budgeting, staff engagement, crisis checks, and hospitality-style development.
