Summary
Add this to your list of things to stop doing in 2019 – waiting. On this episode of Seeking Wisdom, DC and DG are at it again, this time talking about why it’s time to stop waiting for perfect. This episode is for anyone who’s ever waited for everyone to agree, only to reach a consensus that is so watered down, you forgot what you were trying to solve in the first place. Or for anyone who’s ever waited to have all their ducks in a row before taking a big leap, and then missed out on the opportunity altogether. Waiting gets in the way of progress and innovation. DC and DG share their tips for how to stay out of the waiting trap and keep the momentum going.

| 0:00.0 | All right, here we are. |
| 0:08.6 | We're back. |
| 0:09.5 | Who's with us? |
| 0:10.8 | MC. |
| 0:12.8 | The Lady in Black. |
| 0:13.8 | Maggie. |
| 0:14.7 | Hello. |
| 0:15.4 | All right. |
| 0:15.7 | So here's the deal. |
| 0:16.5 | Maggie's show has been killing it. |
| 0:18.2 | Uh-huh. |
| 0:18.5 | And. |
| 0:18.6 | But now that we have so many podcasts, not so many, we have some great podcasts in addition to seeking wisdom. Why did you lump in Maggie into so many? I could not have. I said so many, but I didn't mean so many. I meant like there's one great podcast. There's a lot of things out there that might be great. We don't know. You're the only proven one. What what we, we haven't done a good job. This is |
| 0:38.2 | my, on me is like we haven't done a good job of like integrating all these things. And so |
| 0:42.7 | we want to have you as a regular part of this show for a couple minutes to basically like |
| 0:47.7 | let people know what's happening on your show. One podcast that I love is Bill Simmons sports guy does a great job with us. Did he pay for that? No, he didn't pay for that. But he has a shout out to you, Bill. Respect. They have a bunch of different shows, and he has people from those other shows come on and say, hey, and let you know. And I think, because I think there's a limiting belief, which is like, oh, I'm not a product manager. I can't listen to Maggie's show. And I actually think it's so much more than that. So what's been going on on your show, Maggie? Yeah, we've been talking to a bunch of amazing product leaders about how they build their businesses, how they build their teams, how they know what they're doing is the right thing to do, which I think are topics that cut across everyone's jobs. |
| 1:28.1 | So I'm really excited for some of the guests are coming up. |
| 1:30.0 | I can't share all of them. You can't share any of them? No. All secrets. Oh, you must have the secret pipeline. Yeah. That's pretty good. Yeah. What's a, what... If I were you, Maggie, certainly interrupt. No, please. That's what I do. |
| 1:23.9 | Feedback at any moment, including on a podcast. |
| 1:26.9 | If I were you, I would go out today and get a t-shirt and on it that says the proven one. No, no, no, no. No, please. Feedback at any moment, including on a podcast. |
| 1:44.4 | If I were you, I would go out today and get a T-shirt and on it that says the proven one. |
