Episode notes
Don't Reduce Complex Missions
- Building an impact brand mixes many goals so distilling it to one message can sacrifice important facets.
- Wycliffe values farmer wellbeing, community and product equally, resisting single-thread brand narratives.

- As a child he walked six kilometres each way to school and learned to view scarcity as normal rather than exceptional.
- That normalized hardship gave him mental toughness and low entitlement.
Act With Urgency And Patience
- Balance urgency with patience: when you decide to act, commit fully, but avoid rushing without preparation.
- Follow YY's formula: "Don't rush, but don't delay."
