Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes 🌴87. 2 questions from Michael Bungay Stanier
Today's episode is brought to you by none other than the international man of questions himself, Michael Bungay Stanier (MBS).
MBS left me two voice notes—both sharp, generous, and classic MBS—and I decided not to choose one. I tackled both.
🟡 Q1: What did I need to unlearn from 2024 to become the person I want to be in 2025?
I riff on the shift I’m making—from seeking wisdom from the usual suspects, to diving head-first into what Gen Z creators and online writers are doing. What’s possible when we stop looking up and start looking sideways?
🟡 Q2: What’s the burden I need to put down?
Oof. This one hit. I speak honestly about the enormous (and maybe unnecessary) weight I’ve placed on my next book. I get into the irrational pressure I’m putting on the title, the concept, the reaction I want from people, and the fear of putting something “vanilla” out into the world.
Thanks again, Michael!
And hey, if you want to throw a question my way, just like Michael did, hit me with a voice note.
PS: Michael just launched a brilliant new podcast called Change Signal. If you care about navigating change—personally or in orgs—it’s a must-listen.
