In this episode of The Insurgent Mindset, Rondo and Matt analyze the early days of the Trump/Vance administration through the lens of disruption. Back in November, we broke down the playbooks of both presidential campaigns—now, two weeks after Trump’s inauguration, we assess the impact of this political shift.

Using the 10 Stages of Disruption as our framework, we explore key questions:

• Is this administration operating like an insurgent business?
• How are they breaking the traditional model of governance?
• Are these shifts predictable, chaotic, or strategic?

Join us as we challenge assumptions, dissect strategies, and explore what disruption truly looks like at the highest levels of power.
