Listen "PM Talks S2E5: Adaptability"
Episode Synopsis
This episode marks the latest in our ongoing monthly PM Talks series, where I sit down with Patrick Rhone to explore a theme through candid conversation, lived experience, and a touch of real-time reflection.This time, we didn’t just talk about adaptability—we lived it. Technical issues and illness meant we had to reschedule and re-record, but in doing so, we ended up with an even deeper and more resonant conversation. Adaptability isn’t just a concept—it’s a practice, and in this episode, we show what that looks like in real life.Six Discussion PointsWhy slowing down is often the best way to adapt effectivelyHow "known unknowns" create conditions that demand adaptabilityPatrick’s perspective on college uncertainty and shifting expectationsThe tension between efficiency and agency in modern lifeHow small pauses create the space for better decisionsWhy resilience isn’t the same as adaptability—and why both matterThree Connection PointsResilience (Resistance)The Known UnknownsTV is BrokenSometimes we adapt by choice. Other times, we’re forced into it. Either way, the quality of our adaptation depends on how well we pause, observe, and decide. This conversation offers a reminder that in a fast-moving world, the real power lies in how we slow down and shift course with intention.
