Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

What does it mean to be comfortable being uncomfortable?

This is one of those saying you hear “inspirational” speakers say. And people nod their heads like, “Yep that’s right.” But what does it actually mean?
I asked Jim Lee, a financial futurist at StratFI, and Dr. Jessie Carrie, a senior scientist at the Idaho National Lab for their thoughts. We all agreed that it’s OK to push through that feeling, because we can only improve through failure.
Jessie — who recently leg-pressed 790 pounds! — told us that, “You really can’t grow without being uncomfortable. You have to always learn new things and be open to failure and making mistakes.”
We also agreed that we have to, as Jim put it, “Fail survivably. If it doesn’t work out, have a Plan B.” It’s one thing to be uncomfortable being uncomfortable, but it’s another thing to be comfortable failing. We want to avoid swinging to that side of the pendulum.
The three of us had a fun and fascinating conversation about how to do that in business and in life. Listen in and let us know what you think this saying means.
