Despite the Limits
My name is Scot Storey, and I created this podcast, “Despite the Limits” to provide short conversations aimed at helping leaders grow professionally and personally. As a lifelong student of human connection, leadership, and communication, I am passionate about shaping the growth and capabilities of leaders. My personal journey in leadership development has been shaped by a career of service in the US Army’s Special Operations Forces leading numerous teams from just a few operators to organizations several thousand people strong, with the Army’s Rangers, Green Berets and Civil Affairs units in some the world’s most remote and arduous conditions. I believe in the power of a good story to shape personal connections and help people reach their full potential. That is what this podcast is all about.
Let’s have a conversation!

Despite the Limits
Choices, Decisions, and Consequences
Welcome to episode 13 of Despite the Limits. In this episode I talk about choices, decisions, and consequences. This idea came from my reflection of the decision to evacuate from Aransas Pass on the Texas coast to escape the potential impact from Hurricane Beryl.
I explore some of the philosophy behind making decisions, why it can be difficult, and why making hard decisions is ultimately good for us.
