The Art of Getting Unstuck – Using Creativity to Break Through Stall Points

Every organization—no matter the size or mission—eventually hits a stall point: a moment when progress slows, momentum fades, and the path forward feels unclear. In this episode, we unpack what those moments really look like—and how creativity can act as a powerful tool for breaking through.

In this episode, we sit down with Aaron and Joel, co-founders of Empath Labs—a mental health innovation company creating tools at the intersection of empathy, technology, and social good. They walk us through their journey from early momentum to a moment of strategic standstill, where it became clear: the real barrier wasn’t the product—it was the positioning.

Together, we explore what stall points look like up close, why even deeply mission-driven teams can lose traction, and how ALBC helped them zoom out, reframe the challenge, and reposition their brand to move forward with clarity and purpose.
