The Pumice & The Sponge: When There's No Capacity To Learn

The SenseMaker® Has The Power.

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2471310/open_sms]  | In this episode, we bring Season One to a close by zooming out: not just reflecting on what we’ve said — but how we’ve made sense of it all. We explore what it means to be the SenseMaker in your business, and whether that’s a role you’ve claimed… or unknowingly outsourced. From moments of misalignment between co-founders to the quiet power of naming what’s actually driving decisions, this conversation is a live example of the method itself: noticing the patterns, making meaning, and finding direction again. If you’ve ever felt unclear, off-track, or like someone else is steering the ship, this one’s for you. The SenseMaker has the power. And maybe, just maybe, that could be you.

What If Questions Are the Answer to Your Unclear?

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2471310/open_sms]  | We often search for clarity in answers, but what if real progress begins by asking better questions? In this episode, we explore how learning how to ask considered questions can transform the way we navigate the Unclears in our business and thinking. You’ll hear us reflect on what it means to grow, not by taking the first surface-level answer, but by SenseMaking more deeply — staying curious enough to ask the kinds of questions that open up new ground. Join us as we step into the discomfort of the Unclear and discover how better questions might just lead us closer to our very reason for starting in the first place.

The Pumice & The Sponge: When There's No Capacity To Learn

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2471310/open_sms]  | In this episode, we unpack a simple but powerful image: pumice and sponge. One’s full of holes but can't hold much; the other absorbs, holds, and is transformed by what it takes in. It got us thinking; when it comes to growing ourselves and our businesses, are we just letting ideas pass through, or are we building the capacity to actually absorb and apply them? This conversation is about the difference between being exposed to insight and being changed by it - and how that shift could unlock real progress.

Grow or Go: Am I The 'Unclear' In My Business?

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2471310/open_sms]  | We’ve all been there. Things feel stuck, decisions drag, and nothing’s really moving. It’s easy to point fingers outward, but what if the bottleneck… is us? In this episode, we unpack what a true growth mindset actually looks like - not the Instagram version, but the gritty, reflective kind that founders and owners need to keep evolving. We walk through how to spot the mindset you're really operating from, and how to shift it using The SenseMaker® Method: Identify, Clarify, Learn, Apply. This one's for anyone feeling foggy, slow, or like something's off... and brave enough to ask the hard question: Am I the ‘unclear’ in my own business? Will you grow, or will you go? Got thoughts? Message us on LinkedIn—we want to hear them.
