In this episode, Clint speaks with Whitney Johnson, Co-Founder and CEO of Disruption Advisors, bestselling author of “Smart Growth,” and one of the world’s most influential management thinkers.
Whitney shares how growth follows an emotional journey she calls the “S Curve of Learning” and how leaders can better navigate that journey in themselves and others. She also unpacks how disruption starts from the inside out, why our brains are addicted to being right, and how early beliefs shape our future decisions more than we realize. This is the first part of a two-part conversation.
Topics Covered:
- The S Curve of Learning and why growth isn’t linear
- How beliefs formed between ages 0–3 affect us in adulthood
- The neuroscience behind our addiction to being right
- Coaching and leading based on where people are on their S Curve
- The difference between growth and high growth
- Disruption as an internal mindset shift, not just a market move
