Product Information

Communicate and fit people into your daily routine– Ted begins every day with “Biscuits with the Boss.” When he started this routine with Rebecca, the team owner, she wanted nothing to do with it. But Ted insisted saying “we can’t be good partners if we don’t know each other.” This means getting to know people by being curious and asking questions and really listening to the answers.

So I let myself get my expectations soooooo high. I set myself up for to be disappointed. Treat people with respect– This means to treat everyone from the kit man (water boy) to the Chairman of the Board with the same respect; every person has value. Also leaving Ted is Rebecca, who stays with her family and reconnects with the Dutchman, whose a pilot, and his daughter.

I always felt bad for the boom guy or gal [on set],” Sudeikis says, Hollywood preened and gleaming in front of a so-unreal-it-might-as-well-be-greenscreen view of New York’s Hudson river. “It’s like, they’re holding that microphone up. And this is not easy to do. If you and I held our arms up like this …” and then we both hold our arms up in the air for about a minute while he talks about his years doing improv in Chicago, and he’s right, it isn’t fun. It isn’t fun at all.

It helps that, by writing and creating the series, Sudeikis gets to be a bastard through other outlets – hardman-with-a-yoga addiction Roy Kent, or steely womanboss Rebecca Welton. “With this show – being a writer, creator, and being on set for most scenes – those parts of me play all the parts in the show: I get to try to harmonise with all these other voices, which has always been my favourite thing to do. That’s the only reason I got to stay at SNL: not because of the sketches I was writing, but, because those first couple of years, I enjoyed rewriting with people – finding someone with that specific voice and being like: ‘you try this, you try that’. It’s a fun way to exercise, and exorcise, your demons.” Call it trust, camaraderie or team-building, the Lasso or Richmond Way boils down to leading with love. Of course, making The Richmond Way a real book could be a bad idea. Essentially it would take all the subtext in the series and make it, literally, text. It would be hard to write a real copy of The Richmond Way that doesn't turn into empty, self-help nonsense. Allow the members of the team to shine – Ted allows members of his staff to shine. He gives them credit and highlights their achievements which provides motivation and incentive to everyone in the organization and allows them to achieve the impossible. Beyond its enthralling narrative and captivating characters, Ted Lasso has left an indelible imprint on popular culture. Garnering critical acclaim, the show has become a cultural phenomenon, resonating across diverse demographics. Ted Lasso’s unwavering optimism, empathy, and tenacity have served as a wellspring of inspiration for countless individuals worldwide.

Remember when Ted told Sam to ‘Be a goldfish’ because it has a short memory. Confucius bequeathed his own version: “To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it.” And remember Ted’s soliloquy during his darts match against Rupert reminding us to be ‘curious, not judgmental’. Many research studies have proven that being curious leads to emotional well-being, better relationships, and higher levels of achievement. A question that has recently arisen among devoted Ted Lasso followers is whether ‘The Richmond Way’ has materialized in the form of a tangible book.

Be a mentor – Ted had a great quote for his captain, “You know how they say youth is wasted on the young, I say don’t let the wisdom of age be wasted on you.” He was encouraging him to be a mentor for one of the junior players and share his experiences. Be a goldfish – According to Ted, a goldfish has a 15-second memory. He wants his players to make mistakes and move on. Do not dwell on the mistake, learn from it. Be curious, not judgmental.” – Ted uses this quote from Walt Whitman to express his frustration that most people in his life have second-guessed his ability without getting to know him. They simply judged him without understanding him.It’s easier to be true to yourself if you know who you are. Try new things, push yourself, be curious and outward looking and you’ll find out.
