Every becoming starts with a moment.

Not a dramatic shift, but a quiet realization that something you’ve believed might not be true.

In this episode of the Delay the Binge™ Podcast, Pam Dwyer sits down with returning guest Leslie Grandy, former product executive at companies like Apple, Amazon, and T-Mobile, and author of Creative Velocity, to explore how creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving are not talents reserved for a few… but capacities we all have access to.

Together, they unpack what it really means to become, and how the moments we question our identity are often the ones that shape it most.

This conversation explores:

• why creativity is actually problem-solving in disguise
 • how curiosity becomes a professional superpower
 • the role of agency in shaping your path
 • what happens when you stop waiting for permission
 • how AI can be a collaborator, not a replacement
 • why ambiguity can be freeing instead of frightening
 • the connection between becoming and self-trust
 • how to stay open instead of defaulting back to old thinking

And most importantly…

👉 how to recognize the moment where everything can change.

Because becoming doesn’t happen all at once.

It happens in the moment you see yourself differently.
