It's tempting to want everything to line up before you're willing to commit to a project or opportunity. However, most of the time the valuable opportunities are those for which you may not yet feel fully prepared.

In this episode, I share an experience from this week and why I chose to say "yes", then figure it out later. Great opportunities rarely arrive in safe, comfortable packages.

Then, I interview Jonah Markowitz, who was the production designer on the new Showtime series George and Tammy. We discuss his process, what it took to bring over a hundred sets to life, and his advice for leaders who have to navigate complexity while navigating a large, multi-talented team.
