Ep 003 – Would You Follow You? Rethinking What It Means to Lead

This one's personal — we're unpacking what it really means to lead, manage, and do both at the same time. Saoirse opens up about what it’s like to step into leadership while founding a company, and Alba reflects on managing her first-ever employee (spoiler: she’s amazing, but it’s still a lot).

We dive into the difference between leading people and managing projects, why micromanaging often comes from fear, and how emotional intelligence (and wine glasses full of OJ) shape our management style.

Plus: the Icelandic workweek study, Simon Sinek wisdom, Alba’s van life hiring strategy, and whether success has to mean sacrifice. Oh, and a game about famous leadership quotes — guess who said them?

Come for the insights, stay for the fly that crashes the recording. Let us know your biggest leadership lessons — we’re all figuring it out together.
