607. Two Is One, and One Is None

Today, Brian shares a hard-hitting leadership principle borrowed from the Navy SEALs: “Two is one, one is none.” At first glance, it sounds like it's about gear. Backup weapons, extra batteries, contingency radios. But dig deeper and you'll realize: this mindset isn't just about combat -- it’s about life, leadership, business, and resilience.

Relying on a single employee, one lead source, one fitness routine, or one method of connection with your family? You’re exposed. You’re fragile. You’ve built a single point of failure.

True strength isn’t in doing more. It’s in building margin. Redundancy. Backup plans. Training your team to lead. Diversifying your inputs. Creating layers of protection, not just betting on one.

Great leaders don’t panic when the plan fails, because they’ve already built the next one.
