Episode description
The "Let Them" theory has taken TikTok and the internet by storm, but does it actually work in the real world?. In this video, we break down the concept of letting go of control and upgrading it with the crucial second half of the equation: "Let Me". We explore incredible case studies, like how Taylor Swift used "Let Them" and "Let Me" to pivot and re-record her masters after her catalog was sold. We also roast the theory, discussing where it fails—such as creating accountability vacuums, acting as an excuse for conflict avoidance, or failing to acknowledge workplace privilege. 📖 Grab the book here:
