Every 80 years, everything breaks. Revolutionary War. Civil War. World War II. And now us.
It’s not a coincidence. It’s a pattern. And if you’re feeling like leadership doesn’t work the way it used to, there’s a reason for that.
In this episode, I break down the 80-Year Cycle – why it happens, where we are now, and what it means for how you lead.
We dive into:
🔥 The four phases of the cycle
⚡ Why your leadership tactics are outdated
💥 The revolution that’s happening
🎯 What “adapt now” actually means
This isn’t about politics. It’s about patterns. And if you keep showing up to a street fight with a PowerPoint deck, you’re going to lose.
🎧 Listen now – your old playbook is burning. Time to build a new one.
