Taking the entrepreneurial path requires taking risks. And the rewards we'll encounter are never certain.

The choices we make create real consequences for our livelihood. And it can be hard to get over the feeling that we're imposters as we face the uncertainty over whether we've made the right ones.

This episode features an enlightening story – the personal and entrepreneurial journey of Sam Conniff, author and founder of Uncertainty Experts.

As someone who previously struggled with imposter syndrome, today he stands as a passionate advocate for embracing and mastering uncertainty.

This episode follows Sam's journey of building a startup, learn how he studied a global need – the universal discomfort with uncertainty – and created a lucrative business out of it.

Ever felt like there was more that you could do but didn’t know what to commit to?

You're not alone.

When it comes to thinking about meaning, Laurence and Carlos found the book The Map of Meaning by Lani Morris and Marjolein Lips-Wiersma really helpful.

They talk about working with meaning as working with the tension between being and doing, and self and others.

The work is to be aware when we’re off balance and to know what to do to redress it.

Understanding how to do good whilst staying happy is all part of leading a meaningful life.

When it comes to doing good you might ponder

• What does impact actually mean to me?
• How much impact do I want to make?
• And what’s my story of impact?

And when it comes to being happy:

• How do I want to feel when making an impact?
• Which needs are being met by making an impact?
• Where do these needs come from?

On this episode, Laurence and Carlos explore their own perspectives on these questions, and through their own reflections and answers to questions from the live virtual audience, you’ll hopefully find your own insights.

What if we all made a positive impact in the way that matched our energies and motivations?What would that mean for the world? Hopefully a lot of good and happiness.

While we can’t avoid the inevitable, we can still find agency. When we’re navigating a professional or personal transition, it may seem like we’re living in chaos, and there’s nothing we can do that can make things better.

In his book At Work in the Ruins, Dougald Hine asks a question about the climate crisis: how did we find ourselves in this trouble? Is it simply a piece of bad luck with atmospheric chemistry, or might it be a consequence of the way we have been approaching the world?

This conversation aims to create a little campfire alongside the big path of life to sit with the questions and the uncertainty together. You don’t have to go through it on your own, and not knowing how to act is ok.
