Ego and the Prisoner of Success: 3 Steps to Build Silent Confidence
Manage episode 464211747 series 3521118
Ego loves company. But success? Success loves silence.
Ever noticed how the loudest person in the room rarely has the most interesting thing to say? There's a reason for that. And it's the same reason why Elizabeth Holmes is in prison while the world's best operators are probably people you've never heard of.
In this episode:
- The "Washington Protocol": How America's first president used strategic humility to build an empire (and why modern leaders keep missing the point)
- Lehman Brothers' $600 billion ego trip: A masterclass in how NOT to handle success
- The Blockbuster Effect: When being the best becomes your worst enemy
This isn't just another episode about ego. It's a blueprint for building the kind of confidence that whispers instead of shouts. Because real success? It doesn't need a megaphone.
