You want more power.

But, here's what you're missing

Power isn’t earned respect

Power doesn’t mean value either.

This week's conversation with Allison Fragale, best-selling author of Likeable Badass: How Women Get The Success They Deserve, reveals three game-changing insights about power, status, and success.

The Power Trap

> Power without status is like having keys to a room nobody wants to enter.

> Think about it, when did you ever enthusiastically follow someone because of their title?

> Status comes before power - it's what makes people want to give you opportunities, not out of obligations.

The Status Formula

Two dimensions determine your status:

• Capability: Your proven ability to deliver
• Caring: Your commitment to others' success

This explains why some executives get every opportunity

While others, equally qualified, get passed over.

Every interaction either builds or erodes your perception.

The Strategic Truth

The most successful executives build status when they don't need it.

It's not networking - it's status building.

In today's world of remote work and AI, status is the ultimate differentiator between good and great careers.

The Bottom Line:

> Power can be given.

> Status must be earned.

> Which one are you building today?

Here's something no one told you in business school:

Your greatest asset isn't your MBA, your network, or your experience.

It's your weirdness.

Not the corny coffee-mug kind.

The WYRD kind. (That's the original spelling, by the way.)

WYRD: The power to control or influence fate and destiny.

Turns out our ancestors knew something we've forgotten.

That thing that makes you different?

It's not a bug.

It's your operating system.

Frankie Russo learned this the expensive way.

Built an empire

Lost it all in 2008

Discovered something better than success

Here's the plot twist:

You can't fulfill your 'why' until you embrace your 'weird.'

In this week's conversation, Frankie unpacks:

- The 7-8 year reinvention cycle (it's coming, whether you're ready or not)

- Why "bottoms" are your best teachers

- How to weaponize weirdness in high-stakes moments

- The counterintuitive path to genius-level work

The kicker?

Your weirdness isn't something to overcome.

It's your superpower waiting to be activated.

But only if you're brave enough to use it.

Are you?

In the high-stakes game of executive job hunting, you're probably obsessing over your network, your resume, your interview techniques.

But here's the thing:

While everyone else is playing the same old notes, there's an untapped advantage sitting right in front of you.

Writing.

Not just any writing

> The kind that makes people stop scrolling.

> The kind that turns strangers into allies.

> The kind that opens doors before you even knock.
