Takes On Talent

In this episode of the inaugural episode of this mini-series, Oz Rashid sits down with Matt Gorman, Chief Revenue Officer of MSH, and Corey Bernis, Vice President, Talent Solutions at MSH, for an unfiltered conversation on what it really takes to build high-performing teams. They reflect on the early days of MSH, the evolution of company culture, and the delicate balance between trust, accountability, and psychological safety. This is a raw look into how leadership thinks about hiring, integration, healthy conflict, and the responsibility of living company values out loud.

Key takeaways:

(04:33) What playing on a championship-bound high school baseball team taught Corey about trust and chemistry.

(06:27) What to look for in a high-performing team — and how clarity fuels momentum.

(08:03) Trust in leadership: the foundation for any ambitious company goal.

(12:42) Why healthy conflict matters — and what happens when no one speaks up.

(15:51) Creating space for hard conversations without leadership stepping in too fast.

(22:52) Corey’s early days at MSH and how low psychological safety pushed him to grow.

(27:22) Has psychological safety gone too far — and how that impacts growth.

(35:19) Safe cultures reward honesty, not perfection.

(42:09) Successful onboarding starts with exposure to every team and function.

(58:39) “We Before Me”: The simple truth behind every great team.
