WonderTour

Do you ever feel discouraged from running up against the same problems in the world over and over again with seeing much success in finding a solution?  We see our favorite movie characters overcoming immense challenges to leave a lasting impact on the world, and yet, its easy to believe that only happens in the movies.  If you are feeling inspired to break through systematic constraints to unlock a new state of flourishing in the world, then it might be time for a Limit-Break!

In other words, how might we break through from our current state of dissatisfaction to a new state of freedom and flourishing, and in doing so multiply love, wisdom, integrity, compassion, etc. in the world around us?

We all run up against what feel like impossible to break through constraints; systems that we live in or work in that stir up dissatisfaction or are downright oppressive.  We generally hear people say things like, "this will never change".  As Wonderers, we believe that these constraints can indeed be broken and that we can take actions towards that end.  In all of our favorite stories, from Avengers to Beauty and the Beast to Fast and Furious, we see examples of leaders creating expectation subverting moments, and in doing so, introducing a transformative change to the mindsets and systems around them.

Join Brian and Drew this week to ponder and learn.

• What is a Script Flip and why should I learn how to do it?
• How do I know if a situation even calls for a Script Flip?
• How do I execute a successful Script Flip?

In our first episode of our WonderTour 100 celebration Derrick, and Drew synthesize learnings from stories like Beauty and the Beast (see ep 67) and Fast & Furious (see ep 64) to develop a recipe for how to set off on a journey that can leave a legacy.  The world is a large place and it might seem like the systems are so rigid that even a magnanimous leader can hardly have an impact.  And yet, history and our favorite stories tell us that despite the inertia, transformation can be achieved and lives can be touched. 

If we desire to change the world, then, as with all good journeys, we must start from the first chapter.  When we set out, we tend to either find ourselves longing for a mission that could change our situation and the world around us or else simply thrust into a leadership role where we are challenged to bring about change but feel ill-equipped to do so.  Either way, we can use the following recipe that is unpacked on the show to break out of our "small world" and make a lasting impact!

How to Change a Big World Recipe:

1. Prepare for the journey and break out into the "Big World"
2. Run experiments to gain information about the "Big World"
3. Make a game plan to engage the "Big World" on your own terms
4. Flip the script
