“Sometimes shiny things tarnish. And sometimes, a box ceases to exist.”

In this week’s episode of Lead It Like Lasso, Nick and Marnie tackle Ted Lasso Season 3, Episode 7 — and it’s all about transformation, trust, and taking risks.

From x-rated string awareness drills to political courage, here’s what we unpack:

✅ The Lasso Way as a system of trust

✅ Nate’s risk: Why asking for connection might be the most courageous leadership move

✅ Total Football & Leadership: What happens when boxes (and roles) disappear

✅ Love bombing vs. generosity: When does a gift stop being a gift?

✅ Sam’s stand and one of the greatest lines in leadership: “Don’t fight back. Fight forward.”

We also answer:

💡 How do givers become better receivers?

💡 Why leaders need to stop admiring the problem and start solving for what the situation actually needs

It’s insightful, it’s hilarious, and it’s one of our favorite episodes so far.

🧡 Listen now, and keep leading it like Lasso.
