The High-Performance Herd is a podcast for CEOs and founders who refuse to sacrifice everything for success. Hosted by David Quick, an executive coach who's been in the CEO seat three times and coached over 1,500 leaders, each episode features candid peer conversations with business leaders navigating the messy reality of scaling teams, building high-performing cultures, and leading without burning out.
David brings a bull's perspective to leadership—focused on multiplying impact without multiplying hours, building teams that perform without constant direction, and thriving rather than just surviving. Whether you're a bottleneck CEO where everything runs through you, managing a disconnected leadership team, or working 60-70 hour weeks wondering if there's a better way, this podcast delivers practical insights from leaders who've found their path from overextended operator to empowered leader.
