Ambition can be a powerful force—but when myths and missteps fuel it, the climb to the top can feel more like a trap than a triumph. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on executive leadership and ask: What’s really behind the chase for the title?

- Why would anyone actively pursue C-Suite roles?

- What are the wrong reasons to chase the C-suite—and how can you spot them before they derail your path?

- What did we think mattered in landing the role, only to discover it didn’t?

- And when the pressure peaks, have we ever considered walking away? What made us stay?

This episode hooks aspiring leaders early with honest reflections and hard-earned wisdom. If you’ve ever wondered whether the title is worth the trade-offs, this conversation is for you.
