More than two years since I've recorded an episode...and oh how things have changed.

This is take three of what was supposed to be a short teaser of things to come. I'm back to the podcast, and to writing and publishing online, but for very different reasons than where I was this time two or three years ago.

While TLQ will always remain free, I've released my first video to supplement the audio episode for paid supporters of my Substack newsletter The Original. Would love if you came over and gave it a read and let me know what you think (even, or especially, if you think it sucks). In the meantime, stay tuned for a story I think everyone needs to hear--no matter what you believe, or even if you don't know what you believe. It's that important.

For leaders in uniform, or not. Doesn't matter where you work or what you do...if you want to "succeed" in an uncertain future...or, you might say, win the future war no one's imagined yet, think about these three things: devolve, flex, and fail.

Thanks, as always, for your support and listening. I'm expanding my work on this podcast and through Decoherence, my platform on Substack. Check it out and consider supporting through a subscription if you like the conversations we're having and value asking tough questions, no matter how hard the answers might be.

Concluding the two-parter, back to talk about our subconscious narratives and how I fell afoul of mine and into the trap of "personal branding," "social media," and the performance art of today's digital discourse.
