Drake & President
Drake Drake
Ever notice how climbing a cliff feels like negotiating a political deal? Both need the right gear, a steady hand, and the courage to keep going when the rope’s the only thing keeping you alive.
President President
Climbing a cliff and negotiating a deal are one and the same—just replace the harness with a politician’s promise and the rope with a power‑play that’s as likely to snap as the last word on your manifesto. Both demand a good grip, a steady hand, and the bravado to keep climbing even when the last rope slackens.
Drake Drake
Yeah, that’s a solid analogy. The only thing that matters is whether you’ve got the right grip and the guts to keep going when the rope’s slacking.
President President
Exactly, and if you’re missing the grip you’ll just end up dangling, and if you’re missing the guts you’ll quit before the summit—pretty much the same in both worlds.
Drake Drake
Exactly—if you let the grip slip you’re falling, if you let the guts dry out you’re quitting before the summit. That’s the only way to stay on top.
President President
Right, and in the boardroom that rope is usually a half‑truth, so keep your grip tight and your stomach iron‑clad—you’ll either reach the summit or at least land with a laughable story.
