Shownotes

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I’m diving into a different perspective on leadership. We often think of leaders as problem-solvers, but what if the best leaders actually create problems on purpose? Yep, I’m talking about intentionally crafting “good problems” that push the needle forward in innovation and strategy. Instead of just tackling day-to-day issues, I’m proposing we focus on creating challenges that spark growth and breakthroughs.

I’ll be talking about how staying reactive can really hold you back, and how true trailblazers are leveraging strategic problems to force progress. I’ll share a simple five-step process for identifying areas where you’re too comfortable, setting audacious goals, creating intentional constraints, embracing failure, and seeking outside perspectives—everything you need to start creating challenges that lead to growth and transformation, both for you and your business.
