Ego loves company. But success? Success loves silence.

Ever noticed how the loudest person in the room rarely has the most interesting thing to say? There's a reason for that. And it's the same reason why Elizabeth Holmes is in prison while the world's best operators are probably people you've never heard of.

In this episode:

- The "Washington Protocol": How America's first president used strategic humility to build an empire (and why modern leaders keep missing the point)

- Lehman Brothers' $600 billion ego trip: A masterclass in how NOT to handle success

- The Blockbuster Effect: When being the best becomes your worst enemy

This isn't just another episode about ego. It's a blueprint for building the kind of confidence that whispers instead of shouts. Because real success? It doesn't need a megaphone.
