On this episode of The Z Pod, Host Z sits down with Chris Sund, president of UnitMed and GQR Health Care and COO of Nebula, for a conversation that starts with a stolen shopping cart and ends with a challenge to stop selling yourself short.
Chris doesn't open with the resume. He opens with the college prank that turned into a theft charge, and the years of self-doubt that followed him into every job interview after. Then he takes it further back, to dropping out of college to support his young son, landing in a restaurant job, and learning what real leadership looks like from a mentor who never asked anyone to do something he wouldn't do himself. That's where servant leadership stopped being a buzzword for Chris and became a habit.
The conversation gets sharper from there. Chris opens up about a leadership blind spot he didn't see coming, being told he deflated a sales meeting by overriding someone else's idea, and what that taught him about ego and letting other people be right. He talks candidly about the risks he's taken, from rental properties to bigger bets on himself, and the mission behind his new book, You Are Capable of More, sparked by something an employee's spouse said to him that he never forgot. He closes with a message everyone needs to hear at least once: chase your potential, and stop selling yourself short.
