Sometimes the work doesn’t fall apart because people are difficult—it falls apart because no one defined success the same way. In this episode, Jason shares a story about a band, a cabin, and one unexpected collaborator who changed the rhythm of everything. It’s a simple but powerful reminder that talent alone doesn’t create alignment. Clear expectations, shared pace, and honest questions do. If you’ve ever jumped into a project too quickly or assumed everyone was on the same page, this one will hit home. Before your next collaboration, take a little more time to get clear on the song you’re actually playing.
