Description

In this episode, Jake unpacks the powerful shift from wanting to be irreplaceable to striving to raise the standard for those who follow.

Drawing inspiration from the All Blacks’ legacy of “leaving the jersey in a better place,” he explores why true leadership isn’t about recognition, it’s about stewardship.

Whether in sales, leadership, or family life, the challenge is simple: make it harder for the next person to settle for mediocrity. Jake shares how raising the bar today creates a culture of excellence tomorrow.
