In this special episode, I deconstruct Ted Lasso's cultural impact and golden lessons on leadership and empathy with one of my favorite people, Elisa Camahort Page.You may recall her from a past episode - she is a leadership and business expert, as well as a devoted empathy and pop culture fan, like myself - and we both enjoy finding lessons to apply to leadership and life in our favorite stories and characters.
We discuss why the Apple TV+ show hit such a nerve with viewers (and us, as fan girls) and created a cultural phenomenon. We explore the leadership and teamwork lessons the show gracefully imparted, as well as how it expertly tackled themes of female friendships, toxic masculinity, mentorship, fatherhood, and mental health. We also dive into the brilliant storytelling construction and character arcs that kept viewers wanting more - and what we think might be next for the Lasso universe.

Key Takeaways:
'On the surface, there was the super warm fuzzy and so much to love, but underneath, they were tackling the complexity of human nature, how nothing is what it seems, and we don't know what's behind everybody's behavior." — Elisa Camahort Page
