I believe every person has value. Behind every headline, hustle, hard-earned moment, and family tales there’s a story worth sharing. That’s why I built Beyond the Mic. I talk with artists, athletes, authors, icons and people you need to know. I don’t do puff pieces. I ask questions that get to the real stuff: the doubts, wins, detours, and moments that shaped them. The stories that you normally don't get to hear. Some stories make you laugh. Some hit you in the gut. All of them remind you: people matter, you matter. I’m not here to be famous. I’m here helping others be heard. I want curiosity to run free, connect communities, and make something that sticks with you long after the mic is off. Because in a world full of noise, real stories still cut through. That's my mission. Let's go #BeyondTheMic. New Episodes Weekly!

    Ron Friedman Studied 6,000 Workers to Find Out What the Best Teams Do — the Answer Will Surprise You
    Jul 1 2026

    What do the writers' room of Succession, ABBA's recording studio, and Michelin-starred kitchens have in common?

    According to social psychologist Ron Friedman, they all run on the same playbook—and it’s completely counterintuitive. Friedman analyzed over 100,000 data points for his new book, Superteams, and discovered that elite teams aren’t the ones that collaborate the most or put in the longest hours.

    In this episode of Beyond the Mic, Ron goes past the data to share the messy reality of high performance. He opens up about why academia pushed him out the door, what a former telemarketer who minored in European history learned about himself, and the exact rule that slashes calendar bloat overnight.

    Plus, stick around for the specific question that had Ron wondering what host Sean Dillon was going to throw at him next.

    Hit play for a Beyond the Mic Short Cut with Dr. Ron Friedman!
