#262 - The Work that Really Matters
Manage episode 495489792 series 3246229
Content provided by Brandon Bartneck. All podcast content including episodes, graphics, and podcast descriptions are uploaded and provided directly by Brandon Bartneck or their podcast platform partner. If you believe someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, you can follow the process outlined here https://podcastplayer.com/legal.
In this solo episode, Brandon reflects on a recurring theme in his work and leadership journey. The increasing presence of uncomfortable, ambiguous, and high-stakes problems. He explores how the most meaningful work often comes with the most discomfort, and why learning to sit with that tension is both necessary and worthwhile.
This isn’t a glorification of pain for its own sake. It’s about the real cost, and real opportunity, that comes with doing work that matters. Brandon draws parallels between leadership and parenting, discusses the danger of ego-driven ambition, and makes the case for a third path: learning to genuinely enjoy the discomfort that comes with deep, purposeful work.
If you're navigating difficult challenges, leading teams, or simply trying to do something meaningful with your career, this episode is for you.
Topics Covered:
The difference between technical problems and leadership problems
Why deeper impact often brings more ambiguity and pain
The trap of surface-level productivity
Ego-driven work vs. purpose-driven work
How parenting offers a model for enduring discomfort with joy
The mindset shift required to find meaning in difficult work
Why this tension sits at the core of leadership and contribution
