Most people think leadership is something reserved for executives in boardrooms. Marnie Stockman and Nick Coniglio are here to flip that script completely.
In this episode, Jason sits down with the duo behind "Lead It Like Lasso" to explore why leadership isn't just about managing teams—it's about managing yourself first. They dig into the messy, beautiful truth that whether you're running a company, teaching a classroom, or navigating your family relationships, you're already leading in some way. The question is: are you doing it well?
Marnie and Nick share how they went from working at the largest EdTech company in the world to starting, scaling, and selling their own business in three years. Their secret? A framework built on core values, self-awareness, and the kind of relatable leadership that doesn't require you to be Richard Branson.
Jason pushes into the practical side of things—how do you actually discover your core values without staring at a blank page? How do you lead yourself when you feel stuck? And why does thinking about your legacy matter when you're just trying to get through the day?
The conversation also touches on their latest book "The Business of You," which challenges listeners to run their lives with the same intention they'd bring to running a successful company. Because at the end of the day, the most important project you'll ever work on is you.
If you've ever felt like leadership books are written for someone else, this episode is for you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
