Episode notes

She didn't just survive uncertainty. She trained for it. In this episode, Marianne and Jackson unpack what it really means to be "fit for uncertainty," why planning for perfection is one of the most dangerous things a leader can do, and the mindset shifts that separate leaders who thrive from those who just survive.
