    Power Is A Character Test: Who Do you Become With It?

    Send us Fan Mail Power can change people. Sometimes it simply reveals what was already there. In this episode, we take an honest look at what happens when authority, influence, money, or leverage lands in our hands—and the choices we make when other people have to depend on us. This isn't an anti-boss or power bashing conversation. It's a mirror. Because you don't need a corner office to misuse power, and being in charge doesn't give anyone permission to make others feel small. From accountability and fear to ambition, ego, and the impact on business, we're asking one uncomfortable question: Who do you become when you have power? Produced by BreakBaria Productions Int.
