Episode 2: Trapped in the Ice - What Shackleton's Survival Story Reveals About Winning in AI Disruption

In 1915, Ernest Shackleton's ship was crushed by Antarctic ice. Nine months of impossible odds. Every crew member survived.

Right now, you might be feeling a crushing imperative with AI disruption. Your team's morale is waning, and you're trying initiative after initiative without clear ROI.  There is genuine uncertainty about what can and cannot be done and what comes next. 

This conversation gives you a different playbook.

We break down what actually separated Shackleton's success from failure. The strategic approach: emotional risk management, the counterintuitive decision to bring the weakest crew member on the rescue boat, and why knowing your next move beats having a perfect long term plan.

We also unpack why boards keep selecting the wrong CEO profile for the game that's actually being played.

If you've already read the 1%ers: HOW NEW THINGS GET DONE book, this episode is about Empaths and Umbrellas.
