Have I got a whopper of a story for you. It starts in the year 1100 AD with the English alphabet. By the time 1800 rolls around, the changes that happened to the alphabet will give you an entirely new perspective on your leadership, your employees and how you should manage them.

This episode isn’t just a tale of typographical evolution; it’s a masterclass in leadership, disguised with more curves and twists than a calligrapher’s practice pad.

I (Jeff Matlow, in case you don’t know my name) talk about how and why embracing the weird, the different, and the outright quirky can lead to unparalleled success, both in life and in leadership.

So if you’re ready for a story that combines alphabetical history with unexpected leadership insights, buckle up my friend.
