November 05, 2025Player 164’s Game Plan: How Strengths Awareness Got Me Casted [Ep. 1]
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!
