Extreme ownership is also great for confidence. Healthy extreme ownership looks like a person who does something about their situation instead of complaining about it, it doesn’t mean to endure toxic situations because it’s your fault. If you’re in an abusive relationship confronting the abuser or leaving the relationship is ownership. Accepting the abuse because it’s “your fault” is not ownership. Sorry if very obvious advice, but I would imagine there are people-pleasers here that would take this extreme ownership advice detrimentally.
One cool thing about the podcast format is that hearing a person tell a story about their own life that exhibits a principle makes that principle so much clearer than the mere abstract statement of the principle.
I listened to ep.38 and you were pretty accurate in your descriptions. These podcasts are long but a fun listen if you have the time.
Just an observation, the military tribe definitely takes the cake when it comes to pointing out non-tribe members. They always use the term civilians, in a way that irks me slightly. “In the military we learned X” is different than “see what civilians don’t know is that we in the military learned X”. I love watching numberphile videos, because they dumb down math and make it interesting for a person like me, but it would get old real quick if all the mathematicians kept referring to us as “non-mathematician” or “civilians”.
Will check out, sounds like I would like it.
