  • The Subtlety of Drift - RTTR027
    Feb 29 2024

    In this episode of Run Toward the Roar, John Robertson explores the silent but pervasive issue of drifting in both personal life and leadership roles.

    John begins the conversation by emphasizing how recognizing and addressing our own personal needs is not just a matter of self-care but a critical step towards growth and development.

    He underlines the creation of a new norm, guiding listeners towards establishing long-term values that stand strong against life's pressing urgencies. This segment is a clarion call to mindful living and definitive action that undercuts aimless drift.

    The peril of drifting is likened to sailing unanchored, where neglect leads to a lack of effort, energy, and guidance in life’s vast waters.

    An insightful point brought into focus is the concept of Continuous Partial Attention (CPA), a modern-day predicament where we find ourselves in a never-ending state of crisis management, consequentially sidestepping essential tasks and values.

    The episode drives home how drifting can leave us failing to honor our truths, and void of common sense, taking listeners through the warning signs and outcomes of letting life's current pull us without resistance.

    John is doing market research to determine how he can best support this community. If you would be willing to have a 20-minute conversation to help in that market research, please email hello@fortlog.co. He is only seeking input without asking for sign-ups or commitments.

    What to expect in this episode:

    00:00 Grateful for ongoing conversation, focusing on challenges.

    04:12 Man offers to return check, later regrets.

    06:26 Key takeaway: Embrace change and take decisive action.

    10:56 Business success through pruning, altruism in crisis.

    15:36 Drifting away from long term values and relationships.

    19:10 Continuous partial attention hinders focus and truth.

    22:26 Neglecting basic truths leads to negative consequences.

    25:31 Practice and reinforcement lead to growth.

    27:44 Financial challenges, neglected books, overburdened with responsibilities.

    32:31 Empowerment, action, community, and podcast growth.
