About this episode

Picture this: your boss asks you to do something that feels unfair or pointless. You disagree… but you go along with it anyway. It happens all the time. Most of us comply simply because we don’t want to risk conflict or consequences. Why is saying no so difficult? But how far can that instinct go? So why don’t we push back more often?
