In this episode, Ryan takes last week’s big ideas—responsibility, self-accountability, and accountability—and puts them to work in real life. Because it’s one thing to define them.

Most leaders avoid difficult conversations because they feel risky. Beneath the surface sits an unspoken value:“don’t blow it up.”The fear is simple, if they confront the issue, someone might quit. If someone quits, the team is short-staffed. And if the team is short-staffed…the spiral begins.But silence doesn’t solve the problem, it stockpiles it. And when it finally blows, it’s usually bigger, messier, and more expensive than if the conversation had happened earlier.This episode introduces a

That’s why the transition from buddy to boss can feel like such a threat: it doesn’t just disrupt your role, it disrupts a safety net you rely on.In this episode, Ryan shares his own 15-year experience of working for a close friend and what it taught
