"Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.” - H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Have you ever asked yourself the question: I wonder if we'd be better off with someone else in my role? In this podcast, a listener, Kent Cavender-Bares from Rowbots, comes to Jerry with a similar question: "What if my deep integrity, my commitment to simply telling how it is, is the reason we’re unable to fundraise? Do I even have a Superpower? Wouldn’t Rowbots be further along if someone else was leading?" Jerry and Kent explore the double edge of a superpower, and how the path through Kent's challenges may lie in a new set of questions: How can I be even more like Kent? How can I embrace my superpower? How can I believe in myself? And why is that so damned important?
