Igor calls it what it really is: a socially acceptable way for smart people to avoid taking action. In this episode, he makes the case that being a perfectionist is quietly responsible for keeping people broke, stuck, and miserable — and that no trick, method, or pill fixes it. The only cure is building the muscle of imperfect action: launching the campaign, sending the email, shipping the book before it feels ready. Because "ready" doesn't exist, done beats perfect, and nothing you put into the world is ever truly final. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/list-building-lifestyle-with-igor-kheifets-5717428/episodes/perfectionism-is-just-procrastination-in-disguise/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/list-building-lifestyle-with-igor-kheifets-5717428/perfectionism-is-just-procrastination-in-disguise.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
