Quotes:
"Stand firm in your refusal to remain conscious of anything but the truth." — Epictetus
"The truth is simple. If it was complicated, everyone would understand it." — Epictetus
🎧 Episode Summary:
Scott delivers an unflinching look at the importance of truth in leadership. He challenges us to recognize that truth exists independently of belief—and that it's rarely popular or convenient. Drawing on Epictetus, he explores how modern leaders must resist spin, echo chambers, and the temptation to tell people what they want to hear. Instead, real leadership demands honesty, clarity, and the integrity to speak truth even when it’s hard.
🧠 What You’ll Learn Today:
- Why truth remains constant whether people believe it or not
- How echo chambers and overcomplication can obscure clarity
- Why integrity in leadership requires honesty, even when it’s costly
