Michael Roderick is the most interesting thinker that I personally know.
His superpower to…
-
“Think about his thinking”
-
Help OTHERS think about their thinking
-
Position his thinking to make people want to collaborate with him
… is honestly pure magic.
I’ve known him for ~5 years and I’m incredibly grateful to call him a close friend, mentor, and thought partner.
Not only have I taken multiple programs of his, but we have a weekly session where we help each other think through our ideas.
Michael was a guest way back on episode 43… and during THAT conversation, we dove into:
-
How Michael went from high school English teacher → Broadway producer in 2 years
-
How to make better “asks” to make yourself irresistible to want to work with
… and so much more.
In TODAY’S episode, we go even deeper and dive right into his juiciest concepts and thinking.
Because we know each other so well, I guess you could technically say this is probably the “most prepared” I’ve ever been for a podcast interview…
It was SUPER fun because I have ~5 years of conversations in my brain with Michael and we ended up weaving together a ton of interesting concepts, including how to:
-
Identify your triple threat archetype (celebrity, scientist, magician) and leverage it to amplify your impact and ideas in the world.
-
Use windows thinking to explore the variables in a situation and achieve greater specificity in your problem-solving.
-
Challenge dominant narratives in your industry to position your ideas in a compelling way that resonates with others.
This episode is a TON of fun, and exactly what you need if you’re interested in packaging your ideas in the world to make a bigger impact.
