Episode 5: “It’s Easy to Buy the Mic”
In this episode, we’re digging into the real question behind visibility:
➡️ Are people paying attention to you because you’re aligned… or just because you’re loud?
We’re using Ted Lasso to unpack performative branding, manufactured backstories, and the pressure to always be “on.” And we’re coming back to what matters: who you are when no one’s watching.
From Trent Crimm’s slow, deliberate study of Ted’s leadership to my own pivots around how I show up (and why I refuse to fake origin stories for likes), this episode is about doing the inner work before grabbing the mic.
