Perfection, which has its origins in Latin and in scholarly texts, is an environment where basically you can control everything.

For something to be perfect, it has to be completely controlled and delivered both internally and externally.

The way that I define a flawless leader is a leader who

who understands that perfection's unattainable.

And even the origin of the word flawless comes from Vikings.

It's a warrior word.

And it means that my stone is not broken.

And it's more about what you can control.

So when we look at uncertainty as human nature is geared towards survival, we tend to project externally all of our problems, like it's the world, rather than internally, which is, okay, the world is going to be uncertain.

It's a given.

But what I need to be focused on is how I respond to it and building the structures, the systems, the thought patterns, the philosophies that I have as an individual to view uncertainty as an opportunist rather than as a threat.

With AI...

you know, I'm like everyone else.

I've been using AI since GPT-1 and having it write my emails and everything.

And then I joined a program run by Dan Martell and he had this wonderful advice, which is if you need help from AI, ask it how to help you.

And ever since I've done that,

And I love that because it harnesses one of the core philosophies of my former, what I call career 1.0, which was as a fighter pilot, which is you're always curious.

There's always this, how can I use this tool better?

How can I use the airplane better?
