Make a Ruckus: Stop the Excuses and Do It Anyway [Rerelease]

Keith and Laura explore the concept of "making a ruckus" – inspired by a phrase they spotted on the Jumbotron at a Green Bay Packers game. What began as observations about appropriate fan behavior evolved into a meaningful conversation about taking action in creative work and personal projects.Keith's Perspective: Show Up and Speak UpKeith views making a ruckus as showing up and using your voice. He emphasizes that making a ruckus isn't just about making noise but about "generously sharing and being part of the situation.” Keith highlights that significant work isn't supposed to be easy, referencing Seth Godin's philosophy that the difficulty is what makes achievements rewarding. Keith advocates for committing once and then following through, suggesting that waiting for the "perfect moment" is often just resistance in disguise. The key is taking that first step and allowing action to lead to motivation.Laura's Journey: Overcoming Internal ResistanceLaura candidly shares her struggle with starting a project to create a community supporting women leaders. She identifies her pattern of making excuses: "I don't have time," "What would I call it?" and fearing that making small progress isn't enough to qualify as "making a ruckus.” Laura's breakthrough comes in recognizing that consistent small actions create meaningful change: "All the small things add up to bigger things." She discovers a powerful mantra to overcome resistance: "I know you don't feel like doing this right now, but we're going to do it anyway.”Making a ruckus doesn't necessarily mean being loud or disruptive. Sometimes it's the persistent "drip, drip, drip" of showing up consistently that creates the most significant impact. By taking small steps forward, even when uncomfortable, we can overcome resistance and make the ruckus that truly matters.Thanks for Joining Us.Keith and Laura discuss what it means to create positive change through consistent action while overcoming creative resistance and fear of starting.Make a Ruckus: Stop the Excuses and Do It Anyway [Rerelease] - Episode 092🔊 LISTEN ON: ⚪️  with Keith and Laura🟠  Overcast🟣  Apple 🟢  Spotify 🔵  Amazon 🟠  Audible🔴  YouTube 🔴  YouTube Music📺 Full Episode Playlist📱 Shorts Playlist⚫️  Make Create Build Links- - - Check out withkeithandlaura.comFusebox the podcast hosting and player we use.
