What if everything you've learned about SMART goals is actually making you dumber?
Ninety-two percent of people abandon their New Year's resolutions by February—and it's not because they lack willpower. It's because traditional goal-setting frameworks were never designed for the chaotic reality of entrepreneurship. In this episode, we sit down with Leanne Linsky, a stand-up comedian turned tech entrepreneur who built Plausible, a live online comedy club platform. Discover why breaking goals into bite-sized pieces isn't enough, how to avoid the vanity metrics trap that's killing your momentum, and why building failure into your goals might be the secret to sustainable success. This conversation will completely shift how you think about progress, accountability, and what it really means to achieve something meaningful.
