Behavior Gap Radio

In this episode, Carl revisits a simple idea and refines it: Instead of focusing on the “next best” or “next smallest” step, what if we just focused on the next step? In a world full of uncertainty, even subtle language can add pressure or create hesitation. Carl explores how shifting to something simpler and more neutral can make action feel lighter, more doable, and less loaded. When the future is unclear, progress doesn’t come from perfect planning. It comes from taking the next step.

What is Behavior Gap Radio?

Greetings, Carl here.

This podcast is super simple, it's me wandering through the world noticing things about how to align my use of capital (time and money) with what is actually important to me.
