In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl reflects on a conversation with a friend about creative work, growth, and the tension between contentment and ambition. Drawing inspiration from a David Whyte poem, he explores the "why not me" mindset, the desire for personal and professional growth, and the struggle of comparison. Carl shares a powerful insight: Rather than trying to resolve the tension between being satisfied and wanting more, perhaps the tension itself is a gift. He encourages listeners to embrace this tension as a path to growth, both in life and in relationships.
