What Do Words Really Mean? Nathan discusses how blurry words create real damage. From separating leadership from authority, to dismantling the myth of “average,” Nathan reflects on the concepts he’d add to How to Be Second after years of conversation and lived experience. 

Hey, this is Nathan Young, founder and author of How to be Second, and this is Ask Nathan, where I answer questions about being and growing as a second in command + a Second by identity, and tear apart myths around those ideas and other concepts. I’m practicing communicating the value of Seconds so you can do so for yourself and others, with even more clarity.

What is Ask Nathan? Nathan unpacks the heart behind the Ask Nathan podcast by exploring why questions, rather than scripts, are the fuel that brings his thinking to life. He also outlines his hopes for the show, like helping seconds articulate their value and inviting more voices into a conversation that’s always been bigger than one person.
