In today’s episode, Jay pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest lies organizations keep telling themselves — that perfection keeps people safe. From the illusion of “error-free” workplaces to the danger of systems built for ideal humans instead of real ones, he unpacks why chasing flawless behavior creates fragile cultures.

We dive deep into the myth of perfect people — how leadership often blames workers instead of learning from variability, how fear masquerades as control, and why “zero harm” might actually be harming progress. Jay shares stories of real work, real failure, and the power of designing systems that can handle human imperfection.

Plus, he covers today’s global headlines, from Veterans Day moments that actually mattered, to a record-setting basketball debut, to the strange story of a Star Wars protest that turned into a First Amendment case. There’s even a fresh drop from the Parallel Love project — because you know this show always blends beats with blunt talk.

It’s bold, unfiltered, and full of signal. Whether you’re a safety pro, a leader, or just tired of corporate perfection theater — this one’s a wake-up call.
