Jessica Kriegel, Chief Science Officer at Culture Partners, lost her father two days after he came home for good — and spent the next year drinking to forget it. What pulled her out wasn't hustle. It was surrender.

Jessica is the Chief Science Officer of Culture Partners, a global workplace consulting firm that drives results for some of the world's largest organizations. She's also the author of Surrender to Lead and host of the CEO Daily Brief podcast. Her research sits at the intersection of culture, belief systems, and measurable business outcomes.

In this episode, Kwame and Jessica unpack why the need to control is quietly destroying results — and why the fastest path to what you want requires you to give up the illusion you ever had control in the first place.
