How are you in the organizations or groups you serve?
Some people have nothing to lose in the game. They have no skin in the game.
Skin in the game would have been if Elon Musk had sat inside the Cybertruck when they shot at it to show off the bulletproof construction.
Soul in the game is when you care. Robert Pirisig writing his essay on quality in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance talked of the mechanic who cared about the quality of his work.
Do you root for something where you have nothing invested? Then what does the outcome really matter?
Are you invested in time or money you could lose? Then you could be hurt by the outcome. You have Skin in the Game.
How much do you really care about the outcome, the quality of service, the people involved? Now you have invested Soul in the Game.
