ð Hey there, Healey Cypher here. My brother once said all CEOs are inherently bad, and I get it. Headlines glamorize ruthless success, but thereâs another story: leaders who win because theyâre good people.
âDonât Be a Jerkâ explores real-world examples and tactical insights proving kindness and integrity arenât just nice; theyâre strategic advantages.
Each episode reveals actionable lessons to build success without compromising values. Letâs rewrite the narrative of leadership, one story at a time.

A year ago, Healey Cypher started Don't Be a Jerk as a personal quest to prove that being a jerk isn't the way to get ahead. Twelve guests later, the evidence keeps pointing the same way: most people are fundamentally good, and the jerks just get more airtime.
For the show's one-year anniversary, âĶ

In 1994 Keba Konte flew to South Africa to photograph the first election where everyone could vote. He had no press credential, so when Mandela appeared, the fifty accredited photographers had the front position and Keba was stuck in the stands with the crowd. Then Mandela turned his back on the prâĶ
When Emiliana Simon-Thomas was a teenager in Berkeley, a man named Mr. Charles stood on a street corner every morning and told strangers they were beautiful. Decades later she ran a study with tens of thousands of people across more than 200 countries to find out whether small acts like that actualâĶ
Most of your day already happened without you. The drive to work, the meeting you walked into cold, the ten minutes after you got home. You didn't decide how any of it would go, so it went however it went.

Bob Sutton has spent twenty years being asked to prove that decency pays. He can do it: the productivity data, the health data, the turnover math, all of it. He mostly refuses to.

Charlie Munger said "show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome." Dr. Amy Gershkoff Bolles has spent an entire career proving it from the inside. She built the media operation for Obama's 2012 campaign, served as a C-level executive at companies including Zynga, Ancestry, and LevâĶ
It's harder to place a 16-year-old intern than a $200,000 software engineer. Alex Funkhouser learned that the hard way: his firm SherlockTalent places senior engineers for a living, but when he volunteered to find internships for Miami high schoolers, a full year of work placed exactly eight kids. âĶ
Chad Bernstein showed up at a juvenile detention center with his band, ready to play, and the guards stopped him at the door. The guitar strings, they said, could be used as weapons. So he walked in empty-handed, into a room of kids with crossed arms and cold stares, and the distance between them fâĶ
Most foundations write a check and walk away. Carolina Jayaram does the opposite.
