Building in Public

Blog by Rick0 comments

I’ve been thinking a lot about Kaiju Coaching this weekend, and something I’ve come up with is that I’ve been pretty unclear about who I serve specifically.  “Leaders” and “those with impostor syndrome” are pretty general, and since I’ve also been reflecting on copywriting (probably because I’ll be head coaching […]

Joy As a Compass

Blog by Rick0 comments

This weekend I had the opportunity to check out Selena Soo’s three-day virtual conference. Long story short, I had an amazing time, but it also made me rethink about the daily blog, who’s it for, what’s it for, and whether or not it (in it’s current form) is serving me. […]

Spinach in My Teeth

bias by Rick0 comments

Without a mirror, it’s impossible to see ourselves. (Okay, yes, we have cameras, and modern technology, but work with me here for a minute).  Whether or not you have breakfast in your teeth, if your hair got messed up after your nap, or if it’s apparent that you literally rolled […]

Approval

belonging by Rick0 comments

It’s tempting to want to get picked. After all, it’s a great feeling as someone is articulating their desire for you, your skills, your talents, your value.  I’m not above this desire. Who doesn’t want to be chosen? But at the end of the day, the best thing we can […]

Bigger

Blog by Rick0 comments

When we think of making a project bigger, I often think of scale – more customers, more impact, more media, more sales, more money. While there’s nothing wrong with scale, if you look at those thoughts, it’s obvious that I’m thinking about how it could be bigger for me. I […]

The Privilege of Looking Away

bias by Rick0 comments

It’s often somewhat uncomfortable to come to terms with privilege, especially if there are ways that you’re underprivileged.  So you might want to look away from something that makes you feel uncomfortable, like poverty in India, or the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, or the femicide of a young, white woman […]

Talking Down the Impostor

Blog by Rick0 comments

When doing something new, difficult, and/or very public, it’s easy to get discouraged. To let the voice saying “You’re not enough” convince you that it’s true. To let the fear talk you into playing it safe. To hide. To keep that magic that’s inside you locked away. Or, you can […]

Minimum Viable Project

Blog by Rick0 comments

You might have big dreams about how something is going to get created, or implemented, or launched. You might also have very real constraints that will prevent that optimal ideal from coming into reality – at least at the very start. Instead of being discouraged, what’s the minimum viable version […]

Shipping Expectations

Blog by Rick0 comments

My wife was told her package was late, and she was pleasantly surprised when it came a few days prior to when she was expecting it. It was still later than initially planned, but quicker than her most recent expectations. I ordered something online and was told due to warehouse […]

Limits to the Hiring Process

bias by Rick0 comments

When reviewing candidates for a job position that got an overwhelming amount of applications, I realized how many rad people there are in the world. It makes me a bit sad that there’s only one position for so many amazing individuals, and this process has also helped me realize there […]
