This episode of The Daily Coach: Sports Leadership Lessons revisits the idea of barrels versus ammunition and what it teaches us about promotions, leadership, and true ownership. Drawing on insights from early PayPal employee Keith Rabois, it explores the difference between those who execute tasks and those who turn ideas into reality. The lesson is simple but powerful: if you want to grow, stop waiting for instructions and start becoming a barrel.
