Show Notes

When you see what could be that isn’t yet, as Jonathan now does, that can be a change in itself. You’re now in a different place, at a fork in the road. Where do you go from here? Do you stay on the path you know, the one that promises more of the same? Even when less than ideal, there may be some comfort in that. Or do you step off that well-trodden path into unfamiliar territory, knowing that the path to your vision doesn’t yet exist and will have to be cleared by you?

 

This episode questions whether Jonathan is willing to do what it takes to ignite his meaningful change.
