Nathan & Susannah Furr - The Upside of Uncertainty | #053

Just Another Mindset Podcast

In this episode, we talk about the Upside of Uncertainty. Susannah and Nathan elaborate on Memento Mori, gratitude and how it feels to write a book as a couple. We discuss how uncertainty and possibility are undoubtedly intertwined and you will hear about what Jeff Bezos has to say about experimenting. You will hear about four categories under which all of us can deal better with uncertainty: Reframe, Prime, Do and Sustain. We discuss Regret Minimisation and you will learn about a fundamental secret of success. You will also understand why a value-driven approach can be so much more sustainable and rewarding than a goal-driven approach. Finally, we talk about doing things that really matter and the human capacity for hope.
Make sure to let me know your thoughts and join the conversation.
