The question is whether we allow change to keep us stuck in the past or use it to become something greater. In this episode of the Impact Podcast, Eddie Wilson shares three principles he personally uses to navigate seasons of transition. Drawing from his recent decision to step away from the CEO role at Collective Influence, along with previous business exits and major changes throughout his life, Eddie explores the fear, uncertainty, identity loss, and opportunity that often accompany a new chapter. From grieving an old season without becoming trapped by it, to identifying the character, calling, and convictions that remain when everything else changes, this conversation offers a powerful perspective for anyone facing uncertainty in business or life. Eddie also shares how his work with Impact Others is reshaping his own understanding of purpose and possibility, and looks to Winston Churchill's \"wilderness years\" as a reminder that a season that feels like decline may actually be preparation. If you're facing a career change, business transition, loss, new opportunity, or simply wondering what's next, this episode is a reminder that moving forward doesn't require having the entire map. Sometimes it begins with becoming curious enough to take the next step.</p><p><br></p><p>TIMESTAMPS:</p><ul><li><strong>00:00</strong> – Navigating Life's Transitions</li><li><strong>02:06</strong> – Why We Get Stuck in Old Seasons</li><li><strong>03:15</strong> – Principle 1: Grieve What Was</li><li><strong>05:05</strong> – Identity and Letting Go</li><li><strong>06:20</strong> – Principle 2: Clarify What Is Permanent</li><li><strong>07:00</strong> – Character, Calling, and Convictions</li><li><strong>10:46</strong> – Principle 3: Get Curious About What's Next</li><li><strong>12:07</strong> – How Curiosity Creates Hope</li><li><strong>13:03</strong> – Finding New Purpose Through Impact Others</li><li><strong>14:22</strong> – Fear vs. Curiosity</li><li><strong>15:10</strong> – Preservation vs. Transformation</li><li><strong>15:56</strong> – Winston Churchill's Wilderness Years</li><li><strong>18:11</strong> – When Setbacks Become Preparation</li><li><strong>19:08</strong> – Becoming Stronger Through Transition</li><li><strong>20:25</strong> – Who Are You Becoming?</li></ul><p><br></p>","author_name":"Eddie Wilson"}
