Full transcript of The Master Strategist: Cleopatra's Backdoor to Power

You think your current situation is impossible? Try being twenty-one. Exiled from your own kingdom. Hunted by your brother. This was Cleopatra in 48 BC. Stripped of all power. Most people would surrender. But she didn’t wait to be rescued. Julius Caesar, Rome's deadliest general, had just occupied her palace in Alexandria. He was heavily guarded. Untouchable. The ultimate gatekeeper to power. So, Cleopatra bypassed the guards entirely. She had herself smuggled inside a simple hemp sack. Carried past the spears, straight into Caesar's chambers. When she emerged, she didn't beg for her throne back. She pitched an empire. An alliance of intellect, resources, and ruthless ambition. Caesar was stunned by her audacity. He gave her an army. She crushed her brother and reclaimed all of Egypt. The world remembers her as a beauty, but she was a master strategist. When the front door to your goal is locked... Don't walk away. Find a different way in.
