Hi Reader,
When was the last time you felt stuck? So many leaders delay because they can't choose between options, or haven't got the confidence to move forward.
Getting stuck is a trap. A trap you can escape.
Seth Godin has a fascinating way of getting to the heart of leadership problems, and he's back, candid, personal, and full of only-Seth insights.
In our latest conversation, Seth challenges us to look at the things we assume can’t change and ask what might really be holding them in place.
Often, underneath “that won’t work here” is something much more personal: fear of failing, fear of succeeding, or a definition of success we inherited from someone else.
Seth and I dive into how to identify what’s actually keeping you stuck, resist chasing metrics that can quietly reshape your leadership, and use AI to race to the top and not a race to the bottom like so many companies are already doing.
We also got into:
👉Why status and affiliation drive almost every decision people make (including in your congregation)
👉Why going viral may not be what you actually want.
👉The AI race to the bottom and how to use it to make things better, not worse.
👉The question Seth asks when he’s stuck: “If I knew I was going to fail, would this still be worth doing?”
If you’re facing a problem you can’t seem to solve, this conversation might help you see it differently.
