In this episode of Lead Out Loud, Professor G, Corey the Coasterman, and Brian [To-Be-Named] take on Toy Story 2—and it’s not just about animated nostalgia.

We’re unpacking ego, self-awareness, and those moments leaders face when the reflect on the title question: Was I Ever This Delusional?

Buzz Lightyear stares down a delusional version of his former self. Woody gets seduced by fame, prestige, and status—until he remembers his mission. And Stinky Pete? He’s the passive-aggressive, manipulative boss who never evolved.

This episode isn’t just about Pixar. It’s about leadership maturity, misplaced ambition, and what happens when you finally realize the title doesn’t fill the void.
