Getting what you want means giving up other things you want. Like comfort. You have to be uncomfortable to get in shape, have meaningful relationships (because you put in the time and have the difficult conversations), and do meaningful work (because you don’t spend every spare minute watching Apple TV+). In this edition of Doing What Works we talk about the ultimate discomfort, knowing you’ve wasted your life because you were afraid to risk the unknown.

Here are your show notes…

“Stay hungry, stay foolish” is from Steve Jobs [https://news.stanford.edu/2005/06/14/jobs-061505/].

Darrell’s spinach salad starts with a big bowl of fresh spinach out of a bag, topped with chunked apples and salt and cashews and almonds and dried cranberries. It’s also topped with pieces of crispbread for croutons and drizzled with olive oil.

Maureen’s spinach salad also starts with a big bowl of fresh spinach out of a bag -- but she tops that with raisins, walnuts, shredded cheese, salt, and olive oil.

Katie isn’t a fan of spinach salads, opting for kale instead. She tops a big bowl of that with olive oil and hummus and salt, and enjoys it so much she almost always has a second bowl of the same.

“Yes is the destination. No is how you get there.” That’s by way of Bob Burg by way of Patricia Rossi [https://twitter.com/DoingWhatWorks/status/1335715318040301570].
