Show Notes

In this episode, Carl returns to his “How to Plan” series and introduces the next step: drawing the line. After clarifying purpose, defining goals, and understanding current reality, it’s time to build the plan—the map from here to there. But Carl reminds us of a crucial paradox: Every plan is wrong; the only question is how. Like a flight plan or a backcountry route, the value isn’t in perfect prediction—it’s in creating a baseline to adjust from. A plan is a model of an expected future reality, something to hold with strong conviction and loose hands. Because the real magic often lives in what doesn’t go according to plan.
