Can Vs. Should Debate: The Power of Discernment in Leadership Development:
“Should” is a leadership filter. “Can” is just a capacity test.
Just because you can pursue a bold goal… doesn’t mean you should.
In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, I speak with Christian Espinosa, author of The In-Between: Life in the Micro, about a subtle but powerful shift in decision-making: moving from "Can I do this?" to "Should I do this?"
When you’ve proven you can do hard things—build businesses, lead teams, solve problems—it becomes less about your capability and more about alignment, values, and impact.
This conversation explores how high performers can use clarity and presence to make wiser decisions, faster.
Key Takeaways
✅ Time, energy, and effort are finite—invest them wisely
✅ Ask “Should I?” instead of “Can I?” for clearer direction
✅ Bold goals must align with your purpose, not just your ego
✅ Discernment is a sign of evolved leadership

About Our Company
Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned with attempts to convert base metals (like lead) into gold. WORKFORCE ALCHEMY is kind of like that—except with people and businesses.
We provide various skill, attitude, and personality-based psychometric assessment tools and training to help employers with employee selection, engagement, and retention.
