Episode 200 with Mentor Machine Team

Episode 200 is a little different—in the best way.

In this milestone episode of The Eye of Power, Tom introduces the core team behind Mentor Machine and the ReTeam platform: his brother and longtime technology leader Greg Dardick, architect and ReTeam founder Vivek Nigam, and global facilitator and creative force Giselle Soares. Together, they share the origin story of how a shared passion for mentorship, belonging, and human-centered leadership evolved into a system designed to help organizations build truly thriving, aligned cultures. Especially in remote and hybrid workplaces.

You’ll hear how personal experiences with being overlooked, under-mentored, or unseen at work inspired tools that:
• Surface quiet talent and give everyone a voice in meetings and projects
• Build psychological safety, trust, and real friendships at work
• Turn positive psychology into daily actions, not just a training event
• Help leaders scale a culture of belonging, accountability, and growth across large organizations

The team also looks ahead to the age of AI and exponential change. They explore why small, values-aligned teams can now create billion-dollar impact, why relationships and fulfillment are the new strategic advantage, and how Mentor Machine’s value-sharing model aligns fees with real business outcomes like reduced turnover and stronger engagement.

If you care about leadership, mentoring, employee engagement, culture change, and the future of work, this behind-the-scenes conversation shows how a small global team is building systems so more people can feel seen, valued, and fulfilled at work.
