S3 EP06: The Plateau of Productivity
Sexy it's not, but the last phase of the Hype Cycle means you're LEGIT.
What IS that anti-climactic feeling we get after completing a big project? Shouldn't we be patting ourselves on the back and mixing celebratory martinis? Perhaps you've simply entered the final phase of the Hype Cycle: the rather dull Plateau of Productivity. This is when an idea just WORKS, maybe even becomes a cultural norm.
All season long we've been tracking how ideas spark, evolve, and grow. Our final episode includes some harsh listener feedback, a conversation between women new to their local legislature, and late-breaking news from the Rust Belt town of Massena, NY.
Season 4 debuts April 11 with a special series on redefining goals, ambition, and success in turbulent times.
