In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of extreme ownership and how it can completely change the way you lead your business. Inspired by the principles from Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, we break down why everything wrong in your business is ultimately your fault—and why that’s actually the most empowering realization you can have. From leading by example to simplifying operations and prioritizing teamwork, this episode is packed with lessons to help you build a better, more resilient business.
