Episode 28: Delegation as a Tool to Scale

I've been thinking about the limits of doing everything myself. Not because I can't handle it, but because there seems to be a ceiling to that approach.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why delegation isn't about giving up control—it's about gaining leverage as an operational decision
• The challenge of trusting someone else with your vision when you care deeply about the work
• How holding on and doing it yourself faster in the short term creates a bottleneck in the long term
• Why trust isn't something you wait to feel—it's a skill you build by delegating
• The problem with thinking your way is the only way that works, and why that thinking doesn't scale
• How delegation tests your systems, not your quality—and why operating on instinct instead of structure limits growth
• What it means to practice trust as a deliberate action, not a feeling you wait for

Key Takeaway: You can't scale what you won't delegate. Delegation isn't weakness—it's strategy. And trust isn't a risk—it's a requirement for growth.

Episode 27: Why Good Enough Gets You Further Than Perfect

I've been thinking about the cost of perfection lately. Not the pursuit of excellence—that's different. I'm talking about the thinking that something has to be perfect before I can move forward.

In this episode, I talk about:

• How perfectionism can feel thorough and responsible, but actually leads to losing momentum
• The point where being careful transitions into avoiding discomfort
• Why the gap between good enough and perfect is usually smaller than I think—and the cost of closing it is almost always higher than the value it adds
• How overthinking grows the list of reasons why something's not ready yet, and drains creativity
• The difference between delayed decisions as caution vs. a need for control
• Why perfectionism feels productive but is really just rehearsing, not building
• The ironic truth: good enough is often more valuable than perfect because it's real and producing feedback

Key Takeaway: Progress doesn't wait for polish. Flawless isn't strategic when you're standing still. Most of the time, good enough ends up being more valuable than perfect ever would have been—because it's out there, it's real, and it's the only way anything actually gets better.

Episode 26: Why Doubt Means I'm Growing

I've noticed something about doubt. It doesn't always mean I'm off track. Sometimes it just means I've stepped into new territory.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why confidence follows a pattern of repetition, competence, then confidence—and why that confidence doesn't always transfer to new contexts
• How I used to interpret doubt as proof I wasn't ready, and why I now see it as a signal I'm building something new
• The cost of staying comfortable and how it disguises itself as safety
• How treating doubt as information—not a personal problem—helps me identify where to learn more and move forward
• What it really means to be in the stretch zone, and why that's exactly where growth happens

If you've ever felt doubt creep in when stepping into something unfamiliar, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaway: Doubt isn't evidence of a mistake—it's evidence of movement. When you stop taking it personally and start seeing it as information, you can ask a better question: "What do I need to learn next?" That's something that moves you forward.
