AG 099: Nature AND Nurture
The more we seem to discuss mental health and addiction issues, the higher the numbers seem to go.  And I don't think this is a coincidence! For the past 10+ years, I've been studying our current messaging and listening to the stories of those impacted to try to figure out where we are going wrong. Most notably, I've been trying to figure it all out to make sense in my own life. In this episode, I take the first attempt at highlighting what I feel we are getting wrong, while also providing a new storytelling framework that I believe can help us to reverse course. Please listen. Please give feedback. And please share widely.

AG 098: Building Simple Systems
John Gall had a brilliant take on how to build systems. "A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system." In this episode, I discuss how I'm creating my simple systems and how you can do the same.
