Unthinkable with Jay Acunzo

In a new short-form, monologue One-Shot: What is the science of resonance and how to we apply it to our work.

We’re back again with our maker monsters and this time we are unpacking imposter syndrome and fear or rejection. Cousins (or siblings) that often hold us back from our next creative quest.

In a new short-form, monologue One-Shot: What we mean by art, and why it matters in the business world.

A transformative idea in how we approach our work in order to resonate deeper: Ask questions Google can't answer.

What makes someone pick you, stick with you, and stick up for you? Your ability to resonate. So how does "resonance" actually work? Can we control and proactively craft our work in such a way that both WE and THEY love it more? (He asks, leading you into the episode about that very subject...)

The planning fallacy plagues most people, regardless of profession. We under-estimate how long something will take in the near-term, i.e. we over-estimate how ambitious we can be today. This then hurts our ability to be MORE ambitious long-term. In this story, we explore the idea of creative streaks and learn to reconcile our short-term and long-term projects and aspirations.

In this new One-Shot (our short-form monologue episodes complementing our larger narratives), I share a term from filmmaking that can help us find better material and inspiration for our work when we're short on time, team, budget, and energy.

This episode we’re exploring our “maker monsters” --  internal barriers which we must wrestle with, befriend, or defeat in order to ship more and better work.

In a new short-form episode, we talk about a fool's errand masquerading as a motivational tool in the workplace.

On this episode, we seek to topple the tyranny of always being right, being certain, and thinking conventionally, and instead explore what we can gain by chasing new possibilities, imagination, and the freedom to be… a beginner again.
