Micah Walker on Why Caring Too Much Still Wins

March 31, 2026 · 52 min

Show notes

Micah Walker, co-founder of Bear Meets Eagle on Fire, joins Second Wind for a sharp conversation on what it really takes to make better work.

He talks about building an agency that refuses to become a smaller version of the big networks, why caring too hard is a feature not a flaw, why the best ideas should never arrive with a safety option, and how great production turns good thinking into something people can actually feel.

This one is about creative conviction, craft, culture, and the kind of standards that make the work unforgettable.
