Progress And Process

Listen to "Progress And Process" on Spreaker. You do know that progress can't happen without process. Right? I hate Google. It's taught everybody to quit trying. We leap onto the search engine and let it work for us. Now there's Google Assistant. My neighbor is constantly telling the app to turn on the lights, lower the volume on the TV and play a different song. Progress and process. They're like an old married couple that bicker at each other and the world looks at it thinking there's gonna be a knock down battle for the heavy weight championship. But in the end they work it out. They see eye to eye. They realize how important a little friction is inside a continuation. I'm a Podcaster. Been doing it since 2012. I think it's destroying a lot of broadcasting careers. Fewer and fewer people are reaching for the TV and Radio towers. I hear it from them, "I don't need it. I'm gonna make it in podcasting." I don't fight them. Good! Go for it! Progress and process means you need direction. Leaders that have the courage to say, "You suck. Try it this way." That stuff shapes you. No matter what business you're in being a real leader can't be handed to you. I'm a 3rd degree black belt. People think those three stripes on that dark belt are my greatest achievement. Not even close. Progress and process. My biggest and most memorable part of the journey sits in the closest. My uniform worn on the day I dropped my block and an opponent planted his foot in my face. Blood everywhere. I've never washed the uniform. Progress and process. Passion doesn't kick into action until you have failed not once but a hundred times. Drive is mastered by the willingness to endlessly stick your neck out there and get your head chopped off. I've been blessed to talk with a lot of people of fame that were labeled overnight sensations. In our conversation they calmly said, "If people only knew the real story." Progress and process.
