Everyone has a plan until AI eats their market share.

Welcome to the premiere episode. The truth? 2026 is permanent "Wartime." We’re cutting through the noise of the Super Bowl’s "fake reality" to expose the cold, hard mechanics of this economy. Using Ben Horowitz’s The Hard Thing About Hard Things as our manual, we explain why "nice" leaders are about to get crushed.

What We Cover:

• The Vibe Shift: Why "Peacetime" leadership (perks, patience, consensus) is a death sentence in 2026.

• The Threat: The "White Collar Recession" and why middle management is the most dangerous place to hide.

• The Monday Move: A ruthless calendar audit for CEOs and the shift from "Writer" to "Editor" for high-performers.
