Sree Kaluva built his career designing enterprise systems for global Fortune 500s. But what drives him now is helping small business owners thrive with the same kind of technology—without the cost or complexity. In this episode, Sree unpacks how leadership isn't just about people—it's about giving them the tools to succeed.

Drawing from his own journey, including childhood lessons from his father’s pen-and-paper business, Sree explains how the lack of real-time data and automation holds companies back. He shares how My Work Belt—his all-in-one business operating system—removes friction, reveals hidden inefficiencies, and delivers insights that help teams grow without burning out.

From automating invoices and tracking project profitability to empowering frontline staff with transparent data, Sree makes the case that true leadership is removing obstacles. And when employees have clarity and control, they don’t quit—they lean in.
