À propos de cet audio
🚨 Season 2 | Episode 24 of the Hard Knock University Podcast 🎧 Hosted by Mark Caples & Seth Caples 🎓 Sponsored by SMG Academy
What do Elvis Presley, Colonel Tom Parker, and a suspiciously long contract have to do with your busted project timeline?
In this episode, we sit down with Mark Sebby, founder of SMG Academy (our Season 2 sponsor!), to talk about the leadership fails and lessons in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic. From manipulation masked as mentorship to why poor leadership decisions cost more than just money—this episode is packed with grit, laughter, and some seriously uncomfortable truths.
🎬 We break down:
-
What the Elvis movie teaches us about toxic management
-
The myth of loyalty over logic
-
How to lead when the spotlight’s on someone else
-
Project management lessons from rock and roll history
💡 Spoiler alert: If your Colonel's taking 50%, it ain’t a partnership—it’s a prison.
👊 This one’s for the leaders trying to build something epic without selling their soul—or their schedule.
