We’ve come to the end of the first season, and so much has changed. Join Cathy and Mike for their breakdown of S1E10 of "Ted Lasso: The Hope that Kills You." British pessimism, and Ted’s optimism. Trick plays or elaborate set pieces? A brief history of white boards. Richmond, London & Lake Placid, New York. A spit take too far? Freud finally makes the pod, and Cathy finally gets a chance to discuss polarity theory. The poetry of Donald Rumsfeld, and why 4-square matrices belong on PowerPoint slides. The dangers of the extremes. Cognitive reframing returns, and Blue Ocean Strategy emerges. Join us in the new year for season two of Lasso Lessons, and you’ll never walk alone.
