Player 164’s Game Plan: How Strengths Awareness Got Me Casted [Ep. 1]

Listen Later

Welcome to the first-ever episode of Squid Strengths!

What's the real mental strategy for winning Squid Game? As Player 164 and a professional strengths coach, I'm breaking down my entire pre-game plan.

This isn't just a recap; it's the insider strategy of how my #1 strength could have been my biggest downfall. In this episode, I'm taking you inside my head to share:

  • The Casting Secret: The real story of how I was cast (plot twist: I was scouted, not applied).
  • Managing My Threat Level: Why my top strength (Woo) was a huge liability, and how I planned to "manage" it to avoid being an "annoying Woo" from day one.
  • "Acting" vs. "Being" Confident: A painful failure from my past (my Bain interview) that became the key to my "Just Be You With Intent" philosophy for the game.
  • The Sizing Up: The psychology of always being "sized up" before the game even starts.
  • The Moment It Became Real: The one single moment it all hit me... "putting on the tracksuit".

    • Next week, I'm bringing on special guests from my team to break down what really happened in the first game. Make sure you're subscribed!
