Summary

Episode 50: Are you a “below the line” or “above the line” leader? Don’t know the difference? Alex Lieberman (@businessbarista) shares examples of how to become a more self-aware leader, making sure your approach to problem-solving or disagreements is honest and open-minded. As leaders, it’s natural to have egos, but it often takes higher leadership abilities to set aside your ego for the greater good.

0:00.0	What's up everyone? Welcome back to another episode of Founder's Journal. I'm your host
0:04.4	Alex Lieberman, co-founder and executive chairman of Morning Brew. Before we hop into the
0:09.2	show, I have a 10-second favor to ask of you. We have tons of new listeners to the podcast,
0:16.7	and my goal is to get to know as many of you as humanly possible. Either before you start this
0:22.1	episode or right after you finish, shoot me an email to Alex at Morning Brew.com. I read every
0:27.8	email and I will get back to all of you as soon as I can. If you want the easiest option,
0:33.2	just say hi in the subject line and I will respond getting the conversation going. It literally
0:38.1	will take you two seconds. Or if you're trying to be a little bit more ambitious, shoot me an email

0:48.2	I cannot wait to get to know many of you over the coming days. It's honestly my favorite part of

1:10.2	potential. Let's hop into it. I want to start by sharing a few stories. I'm going to start with
1:23.2	an old story first. In the early days of Morning Brew, my co-founder Austin and I would probably
1:28.9	talk 14 hours a day. That's probably on the low side. I would say most of the time him and I
1:34.9	were generally aligned on things. But when we weren't, the same thing would always happen. Austin
1:41.0	would share his perspective and then I would disagree and I'd either disagree because I felt like
1:46.4	we agreed too much and we needed disagreement or that I was too much of a yes man and I had to
1:53.2	actually kind of assert myself sometimes. But then what would happen is we'd go back and forth
1:57.8	arguing for a while until either one of us conceded on the argument or exhaustion kicked in and
2:03.3	we punted the disagreement to another date. As I reflect on these disagreements though, what I
