What if that deep sensitivity isn't a soft skill, but your most fierce intuition – a powerhouse for business? We're pulling back the curtain on why this unseen force isn't just a gift, it's damn good strategy.

In this episode, we explore new kind of leadership: Machine Gun Savage Leadership. It's the paradoxical blend of fierce protection and wild playfulness. Shelby reveals her "ruthless savage" side, while Ushi confronts the myth that artists can't have structure. We explore why true artistry demands both concrete deadlines and the chaos the Muse throws at you – especially when things go "to hell in a handbasket" right before the finish line. Get ready to ditch the silos and embrace the beautiful, untamed blend where loving the work means more than being right.

Are you ready to wield your power with both precision and profound freedom?
