He had three people in what he called his support squad.
And these were his inner circle.
And what kind of support did they give him?
And then I said, let me read what he talks about.
And I connected it to these four forms of support.
First one, moral support.
Boss, you can do it.
There were so many times when Shackleton actually lost his own self-confidence.
I don't know if we can make it.
Because he made a number of wrong calls along the way.
He started doubting his own judgment.
And so he got moral support from them.
The second thing was information support.
One of them was the captain.
One was his second first officer.
They had also been down there and they were giving him information that he was missing.
That was important.
Resource support.
They were able to tap into resources in the ship and outside saying, okay, we're going to go and find food.
We're going to go and do this.
