Your Why Is Simpler Than You Think. That's the Point.

Episode notes
Your Why is not a philosophy exercise. It is not a whiteboard session. It is one sentence, and if your team can’t agree on it in ten minutes, that difficulty is already telling you something. This is Part 3 of a three-part Field Notes series on the origins of Vibe, Tribe & Why®. This episode covers Why, the component that connects Vibe and Tribe into something that actually works. It’s the simplest piece of the framework, and the one that's most often overcomplicated. If you haven’t heard Parts 1 and 2 yet, start there. Tribe first, then Vibe, then come back here.
