A podcast for frontline people leaders

Your people just want a Leader.
They deserve the best of you – the real you.

For supervisors and managers promoted for doing great work, but never given the training to lead from day one.

Why analog

Leadership isn't digital

You can automate reports. You can't automate trust. The skills that matter most – listening, relationship building, coaching, ownership – are all analog.

Analog Leader is built for:

  • the supervisor on the floor
  • the manager in the middle
  • the ones who carry the weight, without a manual.

These are the conversations we wish someone had started with us on day one.

Fritz Black

Fritz learned leadership the hard way, getting it wrong first, then spending years figuring out what actually works with real people on real teams. Analog Leader is the resource he wished existed when he got his first crew: candid, practical, and human, all analog skills.

“If I could sit down with the leader I used to be, this is the conversation I'd want to have.”
