In the 'So, You Want to Publish a Book?' podcast episode hosted by Sean Buvala, he discusses the importance of adaptability and flexibility in both business and artistic ventures. Using an Aesop fable about an oak tree and flexible reeds, Sean emphasizes the danger of adhering too rigidly to old methods and philosophies, explaining how this can make your work irrelevant. Furthermore, he encourages listeners to self-reflect, questioning their own potential inflexibility, and asks them to consider any possible areas for adapting their strategies. The episode prompts thoughtful consideration of personal and professional growth, and Sean encourages listeners to share their own experiences with crafting a more flexible approach to their work.
