In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie, Matt Floyd, and Steve Floyd break down what happens when individuals, companies, and institutions lose touch with reality—and why echo chambers are one of the fastest ways to fail.

Using real-world examples from media, business, sports culture, health, and leadership, the conversation cuts through comfort narratives and exposes the hidden cost of avoiding accountability. From the decline of legacy institutions to the personal consequences of ignoring health, discipline, and opposing viewpoints, this episode is about one thing: adapt or fall behind.

Whether you're a business owner, professional, parent, athlete, or someone trying to build a better life, this conversation challenges how you think, who you listen to, and the rooms you choose to sit in.

This is not theory. It's pattern recognition—from people who've lived it.
