Aligned Action from Your “Encodings”
Show Notes
Most business advice starts with what you should do. This conversation starts somewhere different. Chris and Aaron explore the idea of "encodings," the natural abilities, interests, and patterns that seem to come preloaded into each of us. Drawing on insights from Jim Collins and their own entrepreneurial journeys, they unpack why so many leaders burn themselves out trying to follow someone else's playbook. The deeper question isn't whether action matters. It does. The question is whether your actions are aligned with how you're actually wired. If you've ever felt successful on paper but disconnected from the work itself, this episode offers a different lens for creating momentum, fulfillment, and results.
