You’ve heard the frog-in-boiling-water metaphor a thousand times. Here’s what nobody talks about: you’re not the frog. You’re the chef – and you’re solving the wrong problem.

In this episode, Jeff Matlow reframes one of leadership’s most overused clichés into something that’ll make you uncomfortable. Because the real problem isn’t your team’s dysfunction. It’s the invisible patterns you keep repeating that make the dysfunction possible.

Get ready for:

🔥 The Pattern-Environment Loop™ — how your blind spots silently build the culture you’re complaining about
📉 How one small compromise becomes everyone’s new normal
🪞 Why fixing the frog never works — and what to do instead

This episode is a mirror, not a lecture. You’re not evil. You’re just the chef — and it’s time to turn off the heat.

🎧 Tune in now — your leadership patterns won’t fix themselves.
