In every leaderโ€™s journey, thereโ€™s a moment when the stakes couldnโ€™t be higher, the rules are unwritten, and every move carries a cost.


This week on ๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜‰๐˜ช๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ, weโ€™re exploring Jacobโ€™s story: a leader betrayed, navigating an impossible situation with strategy, patience, and resilience.


Whatโ€™s at the heart of this episode?


๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—š๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ: How Jacob endured betrayal and worked toward a vision bigger than himself.


๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—š๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ: His tactical moves to survive and thrive in a rigged system.


๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—–๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜๐˜€: The relational and ethical fallout of playing to win.


Jacobโ€™s choices mirror the challenges leaders face todayโ€”delayed gratification, ethical dilemmas, and adapting in the face of adversity.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the high-stakes โ€œgamesโ€ of leadership.
