The Swing Vote Economy
<p>When no one has the votes, everything changes.</p><p>In this episode, hosts Claire Douglass and Tykee James break down one of the most volatile phases in Survivor: David vs. Goliath: the moment after a dominant coalition collapses—and power shifts to the players in the middle. With no clear majority, the game becomes a scramble for one thing: the swing vote.</p><p>In the aftermath of a shocking blindside, the hosts unpack the rise of the <strong>pivot player</strong>—the person who doesn’t lead the coalition, but decides which coalition wins. In unstable systems, power doesn’t come from numbers. It comes from information, timing, and relationships.</p><p>Using Survivor dynamics, pop culture, bird behavior, and real-world coalition examples, Claire and Tykee show why pivot players are both the most powerful and the most vulnerable people in the game.</p><p>You’ll learn why leaders get targeted, why ambiguity can be a strategy, and how moving too early can turn leverage into liability.</p><p>–</p><p>Use this week’s Power Move to build a Pivot Map—so you can identify who actually controls your decision, who influences them, and what it takes to move them.</p><p>Send your stories and questions to <a target="_blank" href="mailto:hello@newfundamentals.com">hello@newfundamentals.com</a>!</p><p>If you loved this episode, please hit follow or subscribe wherever you listen, and leave us a review to help other organizers and curious folks find us.</p><p>Outwit.

When The Merge Breaks
<p>Winning power is one thing. Governing it is another.</p><p>In this episode of Outwit, Outplay, Outorganize, Claire Douglass and Tykee James break down what happens after the Davids take control in Survivor: David vs. Goliath — and why their coalition starts unraveling almost immediately.</p><p>Because the moment you become the majority, everything changes: incentives shift, leadership gets tested, and the story that held you together starts to disappear.</p><p>Using the Davids’ unraveling as a case study, Claire and Tykee unpack the real mechanics of coalition durability — from “coalition physics” to the hidden dangers of credit politics, information leaks, and ego-driven leadership.</p><p>You’ll hear why:</p><p>* Insurgent campaigns often fail once they win power</p><p>* Transactional leadership turns allies into competitors</p><p>* Timing, not loyalty, decides who survives</p><p>* And why coalitions don’t collapse from apathy — but from scorekeeping</p><p>If you’re building, leading, or holding together a coalition, this episode is your playbook for what comes after the win.</p><p>Use this week’s Power Move to stress test your coalition by identifying its story, incentives, leadership dynamics, and cohesion — so you can reinforce durability before cracks turn into fractures.</p><p>Send your stories and questions to <a target="_blank" href="mailto:hello@newfundamentals.com">hello@newfundamentals.com</a>!</p><p>If you loved this episode, please hit follow or subscribe wherever you listen, and leave us a review to help other organizers and curious folks find us.</p><p>Outwit.

Blindsides & Contingency Math
<p>A blindside doesn’t end the game—it exposes who actually had a strategy.</p><p>In this episode, Claire and Tykee break down what happens after everything goes sideways—when a vote flips, a partner wobbles, or your plan collapses at the worst possible moment.</p><p>Through analyzing one of the most complex Tribal Councils in Survivor David vs. Goliath, they show why the Goliaths lost control — even with the numbers — and how the Davids didn’t win more votes, they just controlled which votes mattered.</p><p>Using Survivor, campaigns, bird behavior, and current events, they explain that majorities collapse when they rely on outdated assumptions, but by shifting from chaos to coordination, coalitions can stabilize.</p><p>The real lesson: campaigns don’t fail because Plan A breaks. They fail because no one planned for what happens next.</p><p>–</p><p>Use this week’s Power Move to run a Post-Blindside Reset — a rapid strategy update that helps your team name what changed, what didn’t, and choose your next path with clarity. Because after a shock, the goal isn’t more activity — it’s better decisions.</p><p>Send your stories and questions to <a target="_blank" href="mailto:hello@newfundamentals.com">hello@newfundamentals.com</a>!</p><p>If you loved this episode, please hit follow or subscribe wherever you listen, and leave us a review to help other organizers and curious folks find us.</p><p>Outwit.
