on The Muses
In 2009, Simon Sinek told everyone to Start with Why? Tomorrow morning your competition is paying someone to ask them “Why?” This is your first advantage.
Don’t laugh. We were once die-hard disciples of “why” too. But in every meeting, for every client, we couldn’t help but notice brows furrowed, the buzz of the room flat-lined, and possibilities dropped dead at the altar of “what we think we should say.”
We listened to the energy.
We followed the goosebumps.
We played in curiosity.
We researched our hunch and discovered we were on to something. Blair Dunkley’s Mind Models confirmed our experience — “why” only digs from the past. It provokes reason, rationalization, explanations, excuses, and justifications. We discovered limitless momentum blossoms from the muses of what, who, and how.
Your power of uniqueness and evolution inspires your dream customer to grow with you and leads them to new desires and possibilities. Creativity with intention is the unfair advantage.
It explores wild realms of imagination with a disciplined eye and resonant ear. Tomorrow morning you could be working with us — feeling goosebumps of clarity, deepening your focus through being understood and implementing your unfair advantage of becoming better.
