Episode Description

The funnel is a lie. (Claude is not holding back today apparently. Calling out all the lies!) Not because it doesn’t work for something - but because it doesn’t work for humans.

We assume everyone moves through identical stages at the same pace:

β€’ Awareness β†’ Consideration β†’ Decision β€’ MQL β†’ SQL β†’ Opportunity β€’ Beginner β†’ Intermediate β†’ Advanced

But here’s what actually happens: β€’ People backtrack as understanding evolves. β€’ They explore multiple topics simultaneously. β€’ They need integration time between learning bursts. β€’ They enter at different points based on existing knowledge. β€’ They progress at natural timeframes, not manufactured ones.

Today at 3:15 PM CT, @George B. Thomas and I are diving into Episode 3 of Value-First Humans:

β€œEnable Natural Growth, Not Forced Processes”

We’ll explore:

β€’ Why lifecycle stages break when humans act like humans β€’ How to design for natural learning patterns (not linear convenience) β€’ The control vs. trust decision every organization faces β€’ One practical transformation you can make this week

The both/and reality: You can have structure AND flexibility. Process AND human respect. Measurement AND natural pace.

This isn’t chaos - it’s designed for how humans actually work.
