The Virtuosity Podcast

Every choice builds character. On the Virtuosity Podcast, we explore how to make every day a rep toward excellence. Dr. Corey Crossan, your host and co-founder of Virtuosity, began in sport, where she discovered that strengthening character didn’t just improve her performance—it transformed her entire life. Since then, Corey has been gripped with understanding how we can intentionally build character to fuel both personal and professional success.

At Virtuosity, we believe character is like a muscle—it needs consistent training. That’s why we’ve built a research-based system that acts as your character gym, making character development practical, scalable, and accessible—even within the largest organizations.

On this podcast, we sit down with participants from our flagship Virtuosity program, where individuals commit to a full year of daily character development, powered by Virtuosity. Our guests will share why character matters to them, how they’re applying it in their personal and professional lives, and the insights they’ve gained along the way.

We hope these conversations challenge, inspire, and equip you with new ways to integrate character into your own journey. Subscribe to stay up to date with our weekly episodes, and if something resonates, share it with your friends and colleagues.
