Stop Blaming—Start Owning: The Uncomfortable Truth That Frees High Performers | S3E28

You are the problem. And that’s the best news you’ll hear all week. Because if you are the problem… you can also become the solution. In this raw episode of Total Disruption, Dr. Jake Clendenning and Michael Libercci sit down with iron-willed entrepreneur and Army veteran Scott Lackey to dismantle one of the biggest performance killers in modern life: 👉 Blame. Blame feels relieving in the moment. It gives you a villain. It protects ego. It explains failure. But it also keeps you powerless. Scott’s philosophy is blunt and liberating: When crisis hits, your first move is not to accuse. It is to inspect your own role, own your next move, and reclaim control. That shift—from victimhood to ownership—is the line between average and elite. You just heard it. Now it's time to do something with it.
