Steve and I met through mutual work opportunities and happened to be on a group call a couple of months ago when the topic of disruption came up. I asked Steve if he’d be willing to have a deeper conversation about disruption, given that many people are facing a variety of disruptions currently. I’m grateful he said yes, because this conversation you’re about to listen to is the outcome. And while we don’t come up with a lot of answers, we share ideas, challenges, and stories of attempts to respond with agency to the disruptions in our own lives.
Steve, thank you for jumping into this conversation with curiosity and thoughtful reflection. Thank you for sharing your stories, your questions, and your wisdom. I’m both inspired and challenged to better my own response to the series of disruptions we call life!
