Robert Glazer is a bestselling author, podcast host, and founder of Acceleration Partners, a global partner marketing agency known for its remote-first approach, values-based culture, and commitment to developing talent. Known for blending strategy with practical leadership, Robert brings a grounded, real-world perspective to conversations about work and life. 

He explores why so many people operate without clarity, how values are discovered rather than invented, and what happens when work, relationships, and community are no longer aligned. At its core, this is a conversation about self-awareness, intentional leadership, and living with greater consistency and purpose. 

Takeaways 
Core values are discovered through reflection, not created through aspiration or external pressure. 
Misalignment between values and daily decisions quietly erodes satisfaction over time. 
Clarity about values makes difficult decisions simpler, faster, and more consistent. 
Negative emotional reactions often reveal values more clearly than positive ideals. 
Work, relationships, and community must align with values to sustain fulfilment. 
Crisis often forces value awareness, but intentional reflection prevents unnecessary pain. 
Authentic leadership begins with understanding personal values, strengths, and limitations. 
Values-driven choices keep people centred, reducing regret and internal conflict.
