This Is Harder than I Want It To Be: Season 2—What Happens After Things Break
Linda van Egmond introduces Season 2 of "This is Harder Than I Want It To Be," focused on what happens after failures and breakdowns in leadership, teams, systems, or growth.
She argues that failure is part of good leadership and highlights founders who acknowledge mistakes and fix them. Unlike Season 1, which covered shifts made before things break, this season begins each episode with a real failure from her or founders she has worked with, then examines what went wrong, why it happened, and the specific move that turned it around.
Drawing on about 20 years of experience, she emphasizes that the fix is rarely a dramatic overhaul and is often smaller and closer to home.

[00:00:00] Linda van Egmond: You built something that matters, and then something broke. Maybe it was the team, maybe it was the plan, or maybe it was you. Failure isn't the opposite of good leadership, it's part of it. The founders I respect the most are the ones who got it wrong, dared to look at it, and fixed it. Hi, I'm Linda van Egmond.
Season 1 of "This is Harder Than I Want It To Be" was about the shifts you make before things break. Season 2 is about what happens after they break, because trust me, they will. A team that just isn't communicating or a system that looks perfect on paper but fell apart in week two, growth that maybe came too fast and broke the thing that made you good in the first place.
Every episode this season starts with a real failure, mine or a founder I've worked with. We'll dive into what went wrong, why it went wrong, and the one move that turned it around. [00:01:00] Not in theory, not the polished version, just what actually happened and how not to make the same mistake.
Because here's what I know after about 20 years of this, the fix is rarely the dramatic overhaul you're picturing. It's usually smaller and closer to home than you think. This is "This is Harder Than I Want It To Be," Season 2. Let's talk about what broke.
