In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tracy Christopherson and Michelle Troseth —co-founders of Missing Logic and authors of Polarity Intelligence—to talk about a major pivot they made from serving healthcare leaders to serving entrepreneurs, and how they had to use their own polarity framework when tension rose in their partnership. We unpack how to tell the difference between solvable problems and ongoing polarities, why “problems” that keep returning are often tensions to manage, and how to map polarities by identifying the benefits and risks of each pole, defining actions, and watching early warning signs. We also discuss identity shifts for thought leaders, the role of healthy relationships and meaningful dialogue on teams, and practical ways to measure and monitor tensions.

What is Do Good Work?
Do Good Work is not a label but a way of living.
It is the constant and diligent effort to achieve a new level of excellence in one’s own life.
It is the hidden inner beauty behind the struggle to achieve excellence.
It is not perfect but imperfect.
It is the effort, discipline and focus that often goes unnoticed.
The goal of this podcast is to highlight that drive.
The guests I have on this show emulate this drive in their own special way. You’ll be able to apply new ideas into your own life by learning from them.
We will also have 1on1 episodes with me where we’ll dive into my own experiences with entrepreneurship and leadership.
Every episode is designed to provide you with ideas that you can apply and grow in excellence in all areas of your life, business and career.
Do Good Work,
Raul
