🌴179. Why clarity is overrated (and ambiguity is your edge) feat. Alan Weiss (Weekend Rewind)


Hey, it’s Leanne! This one’s a rewind worth re-listening to — my live convo with Alan Weiss on Talk the Walk. We jammed on a topic close to my heart: why ambiguity isn’t the enemy — it’s actually your unfair advantage.
If you’ve ever stalled on a decision, waited for clarity before making a move, or felt paralyzed by the unknown — this one’s for you.
Alan was in classic form: hilarious, sharp, and wildly quotable. We talk about:
✅ Why waiting for clarity is socially acceptable procrastination
✅ What Eisenhower, Gettysburg, and cardboard box sleep-outs have in common
✅ How to lead others through “the ambiguous zone”
✅ Making smart, fast decisions even when you don’t have the full picture
✅ The link between confidence, fearlessness, and creating momentum
✅ And yes — why you should probably unsubscribe-proof your ego
Oh, and you’ll hear where “OG of Rainmaking” came from (hint: shoutout to Marianne).
I loved this chat — partly because I believe movement makes meaning — and ambiguity is the playground of the bold.
Speak to you tomorrow!
