Insights: No-one's coming to rescue you.
If you’ve ever had a moment where you’re so completely infuriated with how things are, that you just can’t stop yourself from changing things up, you’ll immediately identify with the fury that Emma described in last week’s interview.
When it comes to stepping into our mission, there are many reasons we can feel compelled to step up and take action. Sometimes it’s because our vision is so big we can’t not move towards it. Sometimes it’s because the status quo feels so dreadful we simply have to move away from it. We find ourselves somewhere in the messiness of change, with all the personal and professional consequences that can have for everyone involved.
In this week’s solo episode, we look back at my conversation with publisher, programmer and activist Emma Barnes, who took one step at a time to change the world of publishing because she could see what would be possible if publishers learned to code. We look at the impact that had on Emma’s life and business and the influence she now has as a result of giving herself the permission she needed to begin.
If you know it’s time to trust yourself and embrace the messiness of mission, take a listen.
