What can the Super Bowl teach us about leadership- and what does it have to do with wine?

In this episode we explore Situational Leadership and Servant Leadership through the metaphor of Cabernet Sauvignon. Using Super Bowl week as a real-time leadership case study, we will look at how leaders respond to pressure, build trust, and adapt to the needs of others.

Paired with the 2022 Bledsoe Family Cabernet Sauvignon, this episode offers practical reflection prompts for leaders who want to show up with consistency, care, and authenticity, day to day and on the biggest game days.

**Please note, I mistakenly referred to Bledsoe's flagship winery as "Double V" the winery is, "Doubleback." First time podcast nerves! Here is the link for Bledsoe's Doubleback winery: https://www.doubleback.com/About-Us/Our-Story
