#17 – The -1 to 0 Game

from Depth Unknown Hosted by Seth / Krishna

In this episode, we explore the hidden work that happens before momentum becomes visible. We begin with check ins, noticing how place, rhythm, sleep, work, and morning movement shape our inner state. From there, we move into a deeper conversation about creativity, sacrifice, focus, and what it takes to protect something tender before it has fully taken form. The central idea becomes the -1 to 0 game. Before the celebrated 0 to 1 phase of building, there is a quieter, more invisible stage. The stage of alignment, honesty, preparation, and story. We talk about what it means to catch up to the present, to stop negotiating with the mind, and to let the body, the work, and the story begin moving in the same direction. This is a conversation about momentum before momentum. About sharpening the axe before cutting the tree. About building not from performance, but from clarity. We ask what it means to live a good story before the world can see the shape of it.
