The Seduction of Possibility: Escaping the Endless Loop of “What’s Next?”

Show Notes Summary

In this conversation, Chris Angell and Aaron Hendon explore the tension between completion and seduction — that subtle space where entrepreneurs lose focus, abandon their progress, and chase the next big idea. They unpack why so many of us struggle to know when something is complete versus merely comfortable, and how our addiction to novelty can mask unfinished growth. From the overwhelm of constant offers to the deeper discipline of listening for closure, this episode helps you reclaim power over your attention and honor what’s truly done.
