The Dangers of Groupthink
Description:
In this episode, Bobby dives into the subtle yet powerful force that keeps so many of us stuck: Groupthink. We explore how the desire to fit in can override our ability to think independently—and how that often leads us away from the meaningful, challenging work we’re truly called to do.
Through examples from everyday life and reflections on personal experience, Bobby unpacks how groupthink fuels Easy Hard behavior and blocks us from stepping into Hard Hard work—the kind that requires clarity, courage, and authenticity.
If you’ve ever found yourself compromising your values or silencing your voice to avoid conflict, this episode is a must-listen.
