I have a confession: I am a recovering perfectionist.

Up until very recently I have been completely unable to listen to a single "Disrupt Yourself" podcast. I convinced myself that I would be a terrible interviewer, and my imagination was doing just fine on its own without my hearing every flaw, every weakness, and every "should-have-done" possibility in each episode.

But something brilliant has happened—I'm in the sweet spot!

I have finally crested the low end of my learning curve, and have reached the point where this podcast is challenging to produce (but not too challenging). And in many ways it is getting easy (but not too easy).

Now that I feel I can breathe, I can also take a look back at my previous episodes with a more balanced eye. And I have actually listened to the episodes! I'm in a place where I am ready to learn and grow again, and I'm excited to see what lessons 2019 will bring.

Just as we did last year, I have compiled some of the most-listened-to podcasts of the past twelve months as well as some of the favorites of our newsletter subscribers and production team. It was amazing to revisit these interviews! Maybe they'll sound familiar to you, or maybe they'll sound brand new. Either way, I hope you enjoy the "Disrupt Yourself" highlights of 2018, and revel with me in the delightful comfort of the sweet spot.

(Of course, now I need to be on the lookout for the top of the S-curve. Stay tuned!)
