Show Notes

In this episode, Jonathan begins to translate momentum into explicit requests. The question is no longer only what he must do, but what he can ask of others in the form of “what by when.” As he identifies the first groups who could help carry the vision forward, Marianne clarifies why specificity, timing, and conditions for satisfaction are essential to keeping meaningful change from scattering, stalling, or losing force.
