Planning & Pivoting: Redefining Our Goals

What if success was failure and failure was success? In this thought-provoking episode, Sarah Pollak and Quinn Faison delve into the concept of setting and achieving goals, inspired by a compelling Ted Talk by former NFL player Emmanuel Acho. The discussion challenges conventional wisdom surrounding goals, emphasizing the importance of flexibility and adaptation. While goals can provide direction and motivation, they also have the potential to limit us when we become overly fixated on achieving them. Sarah and Quinn invite listeners to explore a different perspective—one where success and failure intertwine and where the journey towards our aspirations holds greater significance than the destination. Join them as they unravel the fluid nature of goals and the liberating notion that our path to success may not always follow a straight line.

This week, Sarah and Quinn encourage you to embark on a personal journey of growth and transformation. Challenge yourself to set a goal, no matter the size, that embodies change and progress.

Whether it's a small step or a giant leap, this practice is a reminder that every goal, big or small, has the potential to shape your life in profound ways. So, what will your goal be this week, and how will it redefine your path to success? Join the conversation and discover the magic of embracing change.
