Episode 1: “The Game Is Bigger Than You”

We’re kicking off Season 2 with a truth bomb: if your brand becomes more about you than the people you serve, you’ve lost the plot. Inspired by Nate’s arc in Ted Lasso, this episode takes a hard look at ego-driven leadership, performative personal brands, and the cult of personality that’s eating entrepreneurship alive.

We’ll talk about how legacy leaders like Roy Kent and Coach Beard show us a different path—and how I’ve had to reckon with my own Nate moments during my business evolution.

This one’s spicy. It’s real. And it’s a wake-up call we all need.
