About this listen

The modern workplace isn't just broken—it’s a rigged system working exactly as intended for those on top. Welcome to "The Extraction Game," the invisible framework designed to drain the energy, ambition, and wealth of Millennials & Gen Z. If you feel like you’re running faster just to stay in the same place, it's not a personal failure; it's by design.

In this episode, we expose the enforcers of this game: the 5 Toxic Boss Archetypes that thrive in a culture of burnout. These aren't just bad managers; they are the gears in the machine. We break down:

  • The Gaslighter
  • The Urgency Addict
  • The Teflon Executive
  • The Company Loyalist
  • The Performance Taxer

To understand how to build a new system, you first have to know what it's like to survive a broken one. Host Bianca Finley shares her powerful founder story—a raw account of escaping a traumatic childhood by creating her own reality, and how that fight for survival became the blueprint for her mission today.

But this isn't just a critique; it's a new blueprint. We lay out the 5 "Compound Effort" Leadership Archetypes that form the foundation of an alternative system—one built not on extraction, but on shared success and human well-being:

  • The Architect
  • The Gardener
  • The Pathfinder
  • The Bridge Builder
  • The Catalyst

This episode is for anyone who is done playing a game they were never meant to win. It’s the playbook for opting out of the old system and starting to build a new one.
