Today I hope to land one BIG idea. Like most big ideas, they begin with a question:  What is humility? Last month I posted a question on Twitter that asked "what is team chemisty?"  That question led to a solo podcast, which led to me meeting author Joan Ryan.  She literally wrote the book on team chemistry. Our podcast conversation will be available later this month.  If today's episode furthers the conversation on humility, we will all be 1% better.  Don't forget: Sign up for Josh Spector's free Newsletter HERE Head HERE if you are interested in joining our 10 person (max) coaching community  Finally, HERE is the place to pick up my self-paced course Damn Good Questions As always, thanks for listening! --Joe

This damn good conversation might go down in One Percent Better history as the episode that enhanced the direction of the podcast forever.  In it, @The CoolestCool(Ross Simmonds) lays out an argument stating that I (and many of you) already have enough content for the next 365 days.  It's the distribution that is broken, he claims.  If you have ever been afraid to promote your work, this conversation is for you. If you have ever wondered why no one is seeing your content, this conversation is for you. If you have ever felt strange about marketing yourself, this conversation is for you. I cannot remember a conversation that has made me rethink my creative work more than this one, and I hope it transforms you as well.  As 2021 comes to a close, I want to remind you of three ways we can work together in early 2022. 1. THIS is the course I poured my heart and soul into. It's the best course on the internet on asking damn good questions. 2. If you are thirsty for more, I am currently taking on a limited amount o
