Was the Joker a criminal mastermind… or just a chaotic project manager with killer stakeholder control?
In Season 2, Episode 3 of the Hard Knock University Podcast, Mark Caples and guests dive deep into the organized chaos of Gotham and unpack real-world #HardKnockLessons from one of pop culture's most iconic villains. We analyze Joker’s game theory tactics, Batman’s reactive leadership, and Harvey Dent’s bureaucratic burnout — all through the lens of real project management and leadership struggles.
🎯 Learn how to lead (or survive) when everything goes off the rails. 🛠️ Discuss Sun Tzu's Art of War and what it teaches about villains and vision. 😂 Laugh along with our commentary, breakdowns, and dad jokes.
👊 Hard Knocks. Big Laughs. Epic Wins.
