A Slice with 'Dice

From Rough Drafts to Runways: How Risk Beats Perfection

Corey Alderdice Season 2 Episode 47

What if doing it “worst” is actually the smartest move you can make? ASMSA Executive Director Corey Alderdice explores how perfectionism holds so many gifted students back from ever taking the first step. Drawing inspiration from the Wright Brothers—who technically built the worst airplane in the world simply because they were the first—Corey unpacks why getting something down on paper, however rough, is the true spark of progress. This episode is a reminder that history doesn’t remember the people who waited to get it perfect; it remembers those who were brave enough to go first.
