There’s a moment in every leader’s journey when reflection turns into rehearsal.
You start out wanting to grow. You ask better questions. You seek awareness.
And then slowly, the mirror shifts.

You stop reflecting for truth...and start reflecting for optics.

That’s where today’s conversation begins.

Jeff Matlow knows this terrain well.
A three-time founder, executive, and writer of The Best Leadership Newsletter Ever,
he’s spent years helping leaders confront the hardest thing to manage: themselves.

He’s funny. Self-aware. And allergic to pretense.

In this episode, Jeff and Tadé unpack what happens when self-awareness becomes performance;
when we start narrating our growth instead of living it.

Because sometimes, the most honest thing a leader can do
is stop performing reflection
and start practicing it.
