Building while flying
Notes from the Messy Middle
Ever feel like you're building the plane while flying it? 😂 All puns intended....that's exactly what each day feels like at The Flight School.
‘s wisdom couldn't have found me at a better moment.This morning's random page-flip landed on pure gold: "Society has a grand immune system designed to reject new ideas. It takes tremendous endurance to survive such resistance." Indeed!
Why did this hit so hard?
Because right now:
💫 There's no playbook for what we're building
💫 Traditional metrics don't capture our impact
💫 Our inaugural Fellows are teaching us more than we could ever convey
From the midst of the messy middle, the clues still come in loud and clear.
Today, one Fellow wrote:"I'm learning to be a pilot in my life; navigating the winds and clouds of hardships, confusion and uncertainty, making my way to the beautiful horizon."
THIS is the progress that keeps me going.
The hard truth about building something new:
⚡️You'll face pressure to conform
⚡️You'll be tempted by "fake wins"
⚡️You'll battle constant cynicism
But when you're onto something deeply REAL, in a world mesmerized by the deep fake?
The impact speaks louder than any award or headline.
