PODCAST EPISODE SYNOPSIS
In this episode, a frustrating pizza experience becomes a clear business mirror – revealing how ego, overcommitting, and ignoring capacity can quietly break systems that once worked. We talk about the cost of powering through, the difference between consistency and stubbornness, and why pausing, adjusting, and choosing clarity is not failure – it’s leadership.
