The Louder You Are, The More Fragile Your Ego

We often think ego is something negative.

But without ego, would we ever take risks, pursue ambitious goals, or achieve anything meaningful?

In this episode of NUGGETS, Pellegrino and Francois explore the difference between strong ego and fragile ego — and why that distinction matters in leadership, relationships, communication, social media, and everyday life.

Using examples from football, business, politics and personal experience, they unpack a provocative idea:

Along the way, they discuss Cristiano Ronaldo, validation, defensiveness, criticism, confidence and arrogance.

And how recognising the difference can make you a better leader, colleague, friend and partner.

Three things you can do in your everyday life.
