Description

Today, Jose and I explore the idea of iteration - how it shows up in both life and business. We talk about the process behind writing our upcoming book and how creativity doesn’t always follow a straight line. 

Sometimes, you hit a wall, and stepping back actually helps you see things more clearly. It’s interesting how that space for reflection brings new insights. 

We also get into the importance of failure as a real part of growth—it teaches us more than success often does. The key takeaway here? Action. The more we iterate, the more we improve. This process never really stops, and that’s what makes it so powerful.

Takeaways:

• Iteration is a natural part of life and business.
• Different strategies can lead to progress until they don't.
• The creative process is not linear, it requires flexibility.
• Taking breaks can provide new insights and perspectives.
• Learning from failures is crucial for growth.
• Adapting to change is essential for business success.
• Curiosity and enthusiasm drive great work.
• Dying empty means taking action on what matters now.
• Trusting the process can lead to unexpected breakthroughs.
• Iteration is an infinite process that fosters continuous improvement.
