Listen "EP 455: The Case for Uncertainty (And How to Navigate It)"
Episode Synopsis
The only sure bet is uncertainty. As we start a new year, I want to take a closer look at navigating uncertainty and how we can normalize not knowing. In this episode, I introduce you to a nerdy, wire-rimmed-glasses-wearing badass of a German pastor and guide you through 4 questions you can ask whenever you're navigating uncertainty (which is all the time...).Footnotes:Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Wikipedia overview)Letters & Papers from Prison by Dietrich BonhoefferSmall Arcs of Larger Circles by Nora Bateson"Dancing With Systems" by Donella Meadows"Sustainability in Knowledge-Based Companies" by Peter Brödner in Creating Sustainable Work SystemsOn Religion by John D. CaputoNote: I talk at length about God in this episode—but there's no evangelizing. It's about "religionless Christianity." Just trust me.Love What Works?
