In this episode, I reflect on a recent conversation with a father who waited too long to act during a federal investigation—and what Robert Greene's The 33 Strategies of War teaches us about timing, silence, and influence. We connect Greene's strategies to earlier themes from Montaigne, Seneca, Camus, and Ayn Rand, focusing on how people lose ground not through action, but through delay. This isn't about sentencing. It's about how others judge what you build—or what you fail to show—while the window is still open.
