Ep. 5: The Debrief – Privilege vs. Burden

Today we’ve got Louis Petit joining us as a guest for this Debrief episode. He’s here to discuss privilege versus burden, which will be guided by a story of an evolution within School of Man.

Louis takes us back to the day he was leading a SoM team through the Devil’s Loop and how he was able to motivate them. He and Cole take a look at differences in team attitudes and what they learned from the experience.
