In the Netflix series "The Fall of the House of Usher," there's a monologue that delves deep into the dark heart of marketing's power over public perception. It's a chilling reminder of how easily we can be swayed, manipulated, and controlled by the relentless barrage of advertising, branding, and propaganda that saturates our everyday lives. "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade?"

What we consume, where we put our money is deeply personal and this monologue made me do a double take and really begin to think about the companies and the motives behind the marketing - so I just wanted to share it with you to - because for some reason I can’t shake it.

In this episode, we unravel the remarkable story of Alberto Carvalho and his journey with Gillette in India. Carvalho faced a daunting challenge: despite technological advancements, Gillette's products were struggling to resonate with Indian consumers.

Instead of relying solely on data and junior employees, Carvalho chose a different approach. He immersed himself in the culture, personally experiencing the daily rituals and challenges faced by Indian men.

Carvalho's journey teaches us a powerful lesson: authenticity and empathy breed innovation. By walking in the shoes of those we serve, we gain invaluable insights that drive both product development and cultural transformation.

This episode unveils a universal truth: greatness is earned through hard work and determination. The greatest athletes aren't born with extraordinary abilities; they forge success through relentless pursuit and learning from failures. Their stories inspire us to believe in the transformative power of determination and strive for greatness in our own endeavors.

Listen in as we explore how Tom Brady, seven-time Super Bowl champion and five-time Super Bowl MVP almost slipped through the cracks. As well as how others like Brock Purdy, dubbed "Mr. Irrelevant," lead his team to the Super Bowl in just two years. How Michael Jordan, cut from his high school basketball team, became an NBA legend. And Michael Phelps, who despite childhood struggles with ADHD, went on to break Olympic records.
