Power runs the world—whether we like it or not. The question is, are you building your own, or are you being controlled by those who do?
This episode is all about power: how it works, how to build it, and how it is used. Power isn’t about titles or authority—it’s about influence, persuasion, and a mindset that puts you in control. If you’re not actively building your own power, you’re just a piece on someone else’s chessboard.
We break down:
🔥 What it means to have power.
🔥 Why power is feared but also necessary.
🔥 Three ways to gain power (two have nothing to do with your job).
🔥 Three ways power is wielded.
🔥 The three top laws of power everyone should follow.
If you want to understand the politics of power or how to gain power for yourself, this episode is for you.
