About this listen

What do you do when your boss asks for feedback… and you know they might not like the answer?

That question was at the heart of both of our stories in this episode, where we revisit two career-defining moments of high-stakes candor. In each case, there was no time to rehearse, just a split-second choice between staying silent or saying what needed to be said, even if it meant telling your boss they were being a jerk.

These aren't theoretical scenarios. These are the high-stakes moments that test whether you'll show up as the person you claim to be, or retreat into safety.

By the end of this episode, you'll understand why courage is contagious (even when no one else knows about it), how to recognize when someone is ready to hear your candor, and how having "less to lose" makes candor easier (and what that means as your career progresses).
