Fast Five Pt. 1: Overcoming Unbeatable Odds By Flipping the Map Upside-down

Just like in Fast Five when Dom, Brian, and the team are trapped in Rio and on the run from both Hobbs and Reyes, it can sometimes feel like our lives are out of our control. Someone else makes the map and we just have to stay within their lines. But as magnanimous leaders, we believe that the current map of reality isn't all there is to the story. When our known maps seem incompatible with our objectives, it's time to flip the map upside-down. Flipping the Map allows us to 1) gain information about the other parties in the story and 2) re-write the map for all the players in the game. The Fast Five team shows in a number of examples, like when they burn Reyes' money rather than stealing it, that flipping the map provides the disadvantaged team a chance to overcome unbeatable odds.
