Flying Under the Radar, Episode 2: Sometimes It Rains

from Flying Under the Radar · host Andrea Maurer

This was supposed to be a guest episode. Then the guest came down with head to toe poison ivy, the first backup's internet in Italy quit on her, the next one stopped sleeping and, in turn, being able to put two sentences together, and the one after that turned out to be running a surfing competition in Cabo. So it's just me again, flying solo.In baseball they call this a rain delay. The broadcasters don't pack up the booth and decide they're in the wrong line of work. They fill the air until the game resumes. That's what this episode is. I take the week that fell apart and run it through the Transformative Creativity framework in real time: locate, trace, desire, container, results. And I talk about the difference between treating a disruption as a verdict on who you are and treating it as weather.There's some Teddy Roosevelt in here, some honesty about the Promised Land myth I lived in for most of my life, plus a reminder from my brother that the journey is the destination. Your one doable thing is waiting at the end. The next time something doesn't go to plan, you get to decide what it means. I'll show you how I decided.New episodes every two weeks. Subscribe so you don't miss the one where I actually have a guest.
