476: Survivorship Bias 30.12.2020 9:16 ↓

This thinking issue commonly causes us to overestimate our chances of success, but I think it also blunts our perception of what we have achieved - causing us to abandon our plans too early.

474: Business Story Example 28.12.2020 10:09 ↓

This is going back 20 years, but it shows the way we deployed a simple business story to cover off a serious sales objection.

473: Connecting To The Darkness 27.12.2020 6:12 ↓

I love it when a link triggers an insight. Last week I talked about how great storytelling triggers a ‘conversation’ between our vulnerability and darkness, and our audiences. Now I realise the obvious - this was Jung’s shadow that I talked about in episode 277.

469: 2021 Is The Year Of Doing 23.12.2020 5:33 ↓

I’m looking at bookcase, and thinking how many of these have you read to the end, how many of these recommendations and insights have you implemented, how much of this learning was too shallow to stick?

468: To Know And Not To Do 22.12.2020 9:16 ↓

Is it just me, or does everyone get tired of having to learn the same lesson OVER and OVER again? You see something and think: I had this insight 10 years ago. Why didn’t I use it? Why did I let myself get distracted? I could have been sitting on a beach drinking rum and unicorn tears… if only… if only … if only … Hmmmm. This has happened to me so many times that I could probably do a Top 10 most...

I’m about to do something brave/stupid.

458: I Don’t Demand Perfection 12.12.2020 5:18 ↓

Perfectionism is self-defeating. Not just because because it's impossible, but because it is actually the block on the overall goal ... the block to getting better. Our work is not to produce perfection, but to continually improve the process of making stuff.
