Before we met to record today's episode, Jason asked for a good starting topic to spark the conversation. My first thought was something I'd just recently read in Atomic Habits, by James Clear. The quote, more or less, is:
"When in doubt, stick to the schedule and reduce the scope."
From there, we were off to the races! As the discussion turned to The Line of Choice and how Jason uses it in his coaching, an idea occurred to me:
"I'd rather fail above the line than succeed below it."
You'll have to listen if you want the full context of our lively chat, but I will say that both of us are still thinking about the implications of whether or not that's a true statement...I guess Jason will have to come back on again to talk about where we landed! :)
