Ed and David start part two of their conversation discussing how true culture is built through human connection. Psychological safety and meaningful relationships between team members are the foundation. Whether it is bowling after work or grabbing lunch together, these moments create the trust and camaraderie that drive better collaboration and ultimately better business outcomes.

It is the same reason great sports teams, like the Philadelphia Eagles, prioritize connection. When people care about each other, they show up stronger.

But what is the return on this kind of culture? Ed shares how connection-first leadership has fueled EDA’s growth, from retention and recruitment to expansion and client loyalty. And that is just the beginning.
