176: Leaders Worth Following [Tao Te Ching Ch.17]

About this episode

The episode discusses different modes of leadership through the lens of the Tao Te Ching.

Strictly speaking about the Tao, our favorite pair of socks talk about modes of leadership. Though there are several, some are better than others and the best gets no credit. Bartleby has more to say, but Artemus keeps him on track for an especially concise episode of Meta-Cosmos! …Hosted by Bartleby and Artemus Neehi. …Produced by Isaac Bluefoot. …Theme Music by Royal Jelly.
