Zero Subscribers Beth and Bryan Stedman

In this episode Bryan and Beth talk about the difference between fox and hedgehog thinking.

How long do you stay with the same project? Is there more value in quantity than quality? How do you keep showing up even when you don't want to? These are the questions we wrestle with in this episode.

In this episode we talk about how little feedback there is with podcasting, what's good and bad in that for both of us, and our own needs for approval from others (or lack of need for approval from others) affect us.

In this episode Bryan and I talk about starting our other podcast, Quarterly Learning. We also discuss the habit tracker Beth recently designed and how we are using it to help us stay on track and take small repetitive steps towards our goals and values.

We talk about the year ahead and some phrases we are using to focus the year. We're holding tension between two intentions this year, one to move forward into action and the other to hold space for rest and ease. Since having the conversation we've found another phrase which is pulling our attention, from Goethe, "Do not hurry; do not rest."

In this episode we talk both about the benefit of showing up to the work, whether you feel like it or not, and moving on to something different and trying lots of things -- even if (or maybe especially if) you fail.
