When we say “mediocrity is a leadership choice,” we’re not just being dramatic. In this first face-off between researcher and investor, Mike challenges the venture capital mindset—and VC Oussama Glilah (@ Razor Capital) doesn’t just agree… he confirms it all.

💥 From the absence of engineering standards to the myth of plug-and-play talent, this episode dismantles the fantasy that unicorns are born from flashy ideas or frameworks.

🔧 They’re built—through behaviorally engineered environments, prompt design, and holistic-elite upskilling that replace cookie-cutter training in favor of more modern programs based on the latest neuroplasticity discoveries!

💡 Key insights you’ll hear:

• Why 99% of engineers fail to meet Tier A standards—and how to grow them in-house with the SW Craftsmanship Dojo®

• The leadership behaviors that unconsciously install mediocrity

• How BJ Fogg’s behavioral model unlocks resilience in tech orgs

• The brutal waste of $2.5T in 2024 on failed digital transformations (and how 2025 looks even worse with GenAI hype!)

• Real startup stories from frontier markets—evolving through user behavior and feedback loops

🧠 This isn’t your average “transformation talk” that pours in money and harvests disappointment.

It’s the confirmation of two decades of research behind the Unicorns’ Ecosystem:

A human-centered system where culture, leadership, and behavior are the real tech stack to build elite organizations—and the tech-savvy organizations of the future.
