Ted Lasso is a Business Story: Friendship Is a Leadership Skill

Episode 6: “Fire Rupert. Build Diamond Dogs.”

This episode is a love letter to chosen family, emotional support systems, and the kind of business friendships that don’t just cheer you on... they hold you down.

We’re talking about the difference between Rupert energy and Diamond Dogs energy, because if you’ve ever been burned by a collaborator, ghosted in your hardest moments, or told that “business isn’t personal,” then you know how lonely leadership can get.

I also share what happened when I spent all of 2024 rebuilding my support system and how that changed everything. In business, creativity, and life. If you’ve never known what true, non-transactional support looks like, this one’s for you.
