Staying in Your Lane! Unless You’re in a Penalty Kill Situation

This episode hits the sweet spot between locker room grit and boardroom buzzwords. From high school guard rotations to youth hockey chaos, it’s a deep dive into how sports build skills that every executive LinkedIn post pretends they were born with: mindset, grit, team synergy, and an unshakable ability to take a hit and spin it into a Q3 growth opportunity. The lesson? Whether you're breaking into the zone or the market, you’d better keep your feet moving—and your metaphors mixed. You’ll also get a crash course in the real-world application of “back checking” as both a defensive hockey strategy and a highly scalable business mindset for post-failure regrouping. There’s discussion of Mo (momentum, not middle management), an impromptu TED Talk on the ROI of doing your actual job, and strong opinions on staying in your lane—unless you're a startup founder, in which case, you’re playing every position including mascot. If you’ve ever wondered how a 50-mile run, a guitar mistake, and a missed power play can all turn into leadership advice, this one’s for you.
