🎙 Lead It Like Lasso – Episode 8: “We’ll Never Have Paris”

In this episode of Lead It Like Lasso, Nick and Marnie unpack a week filled with tension, vulnerability, and unexpected clarity.

Ted’s dealing with the uncomfortable reality of Michelle and Dr. Jacob heading to Paris — and he’s asking all the wrong questions before taking anyone’s advice. Meanwhile, Keeley faces a deeply personal breach of privacy and refuses to be shamed into silence. Nate is learning how to label his feelings (and his relationship), and Isaac makes a discovery about Colin that could change everything.

We dive into:
✅ The difference between control and curiosity
✅ Why asking for help is a leadership skill, not a weakness
✅ What it really means to support someone when their private life goes public
✅ And why your board of advisors matters — especially when it comes to love, leadership, and leaked videos

It’s awkward, honest, and one of the richest episodes for real-life leadership reflection.
