In this episode, we explore Ankur Shiv Bhandari’s thought-provoking blog “Per-fectly Fine… Until It Wasn’t”, where a simple linguistic shift reframes how we see flaws, missteps, and the pursuit of perfection.

Words like “defect” and “perfect” share a common root, yet their meanings could not be more different. Through memorable metaphors (including a Harry Potter analogy you won’t forget), Ankur highlights how Intent and mindset completely change the outcome, not the tools we use.

We also return to the Knowing–Doing Gap, that frustrating space where brilliant plans fall flat. Why do things go sideways even when everyone’s aligned? And more importantly, what can we do about it?

This isn’t about chasing flawlessness. It’s about embracing learning, refining with purpose, and recognising when a so-called defect might just be the beginning of something better.
