No way is the way. That's the whole episode in five words, and also the trap most of us fall into.
We are the traffic. We're not commentators watching from the sidelines, we're the ones stuck in it, causing it, and occasionally clearing a path through it.
This week: Tyler's nine days deep in COVID recovery and what his body was trying to tell him about depletion. Then, Smash the Vase: the coaching moment where you stop being polite and just break the illusion open. Why the people most "shocked" by simple truths are often the ones who grow the fastest. Why the AI honeymoon is over, and why that's making people trust actual humans again. Leadership as debate, not hierarchy. Why embarrassment might be necessary for being alive. And a real conversation about Dolly Parton, how she led with confidence, never made a statement because she just acted, and what a toddler laying down a weed at her memorial mural taught two coaches about kindness.
No scripts. No polish. Just two people who coach for a living, talking like they actually mean it.
