About this episode

Chad shares insights on recognizing disruptions as signals rather than tests, offering a framework for better decision-making.

After stepping off the TEDx stage, Chad sits down with Bob to break down what didn't make it into the talk. In this episode, Chad shares the behind-the-scenes moments from the event, the real stories behind the message, and the powerful lesson most people miss when life or business gets disrupted. Too often, we treat every challenge like a test of endurance—push harder, grind more, stay the course. The truth? Some disruptions aren't tests. They're signals. Signals that something has changed. Signals that the path no longer fits. Signals that it's time to adjust. Chad walks Bob through how to tell the difference, why most people get it wrong, and the simple framework you can use to stop wasting effort and start making better decisions. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you're working harder without getting results… this conversation will change how you see it. ---------- Connect with the hosts: • Ben Kinney: https://www.BenKinney.com/ • Bob Stewart: https://www.linkedin.com/in/activebob • Chad Hyams: https://ChadHyams.com/ • Book one of our co-hosts for your next event: https://WinMakeGive.com/speakers/ More ways to connect: • Join our Facebook group at…
