Episode Notes:

• Starting something that many other people are already doing.
• You need to know how you’re going to do it differently.
• Chicken Soup for the Writer’s Soul
• Saying thing with your own voice, your own personality, or for your own generation.
• Organizations can aim to have a different “personality” than other similar companies.
• If you care about something, first check and see if there’s someone else out there already doing that thing and see if you can/should join them. But if you find you want to do it differently, then that helps you differentiate how YOU think it should be done.
• Timing: people have life-spans, so do organizations!
• Example: Atari, PanAm
• We can often get caught up in the weekly grind that can sometimes displace what we’re really after.
• Example of this project: strategic.li
• Timelines often become meaningless, they are just chosen arbitrarily without any significant reason of why things should happen that quickly.
• What about false or fake wins? Not the “true” end destination.
• The most important thing isn’t a specific answer but a pattern that they form when you look at them all together. Looking for and revealing connections you didn’t see before.
• Signal vs. Noise
• It can help to show your answers to other people to get outside perspective.
