Start, Fail, and Do Work that Matters [Rerelease]

By /

Keith and Laura discuss the book “Poke the Box” by Seth Godin and exploring themes around initiative, creativity, and overcoming resistance to starting projects.

Central Themes Laura and Keith explore: 

  • The “lizard brain” (resistance) that prevents people from pursuing creative projects
  • The “dandelion” metaphor – spreading many seeds knowing some will fail but others will flourish
  • The concept of “trusting your self” rather than listening to fear 
  • Tall Poppy Syndrome – the societal pressure to not stand out

The path to creative fulfillment isn’t about avoiding failure, but rather embracing initiative. Instead of overthinking or waiting for perfect conditions, decide what matters, take that first step, and keep moving forward. Be the initiator, “Go Go Go.”
