What happens when you reconnect with a childhood friend who’s gone from Wall Street’s chaos to culinary stardom? In the premiere of the Making Business personal Thursday interview series, Jason Weiss and Celebrity Chef, Judy Joo trade quick-witted banter and decades-old inside jokes as they dive into the wild turns of life, ambition, and reinvention—reminding us that behind every impressive résumé is a story of grit, laughter, and the courage to chase something more personal.

You don't exist. Not the way you think you do.

What if the version of yourself you're confident about isn't the one your team experiences every day? In this episode, Jason explores the Leadership Multiverse - the uncomfortable truth that you exist as dozens of different versions in other people's minds.

This episode reveals:

• Why your intentions don't matter as much as your impact
• How effective leaders develop "multiverse sensitivity"
• Three practical tools to navigate your leadership multiverse

You'll discover: The Mirror Exercise that reveals hidden versions of yourself, why reactions matter more than results, and how to name the feeling tones that make you powerful in any room.

Fair warning: This will challenge your self-perception and might just transform how you show up as a leader.

Ready to meet all the versions of yourself you didn't know existed?
