MM 338: Not Everyone Deserves Access

About this episode

Patrick discusses the importance of selective access in high-stress work environments and the need for clear boundaries.

Happy new year! In this Microcast Monday, Patrick makes the case for selective access: in high-stress work, oversharing with the wrong people can drain your energy, erode trust, and create problems you did not need. He breaks down the difference between privacy and secrecy, and why clear boundaries are not cold – they are a professional survival skill.
