Cover up! It's sunny out.


When uncertainty feels impossible, most teams freeze. In this episode Tom and Corissa unpack a three-phase cycle that's powered by getting it wrong first.


They unpack their "Unpack, Unleash, Unfold" framework through real examples - from a messy logo redesign to a heart rate variability app that nobody could figure out how to use.


We also float across the vision chasm between leadership and teams and realise it isn't a bug, it's a feature.


Plus: how embracing deliberate wrongness can accelerate breakthrough.


Including-but-not-limited-to


  • Why your detailed vision might be holding you back
  • The logo redesign that's a very simple example of how unpack, unleash, unfold works
  • How a month-long breathing challenge took 3 or 4 unfoldings to get to, and is now revealing hidden product insights
  • Markets are terrible at knowing what they want but brilliant at reacting to options
  • The curse of knowledge that kills every internal product demo
  • Building bridges over the vision chasm (or knowing when not to bother)
  • Why some people thrive in uncertainty while others need linear processes


Plus: An (another) introduction to "pitch provocations" - their method for being deliberately wrong in exactly the right way.


Perfect for product teams, strategists, and anyone trying to build something meaningful in an uncertain world.
