As you move to smaller releases of yourself, you start realizing releases per se are not necessary. Just one incremental change after another for life is the optimal path.
My point is to not let the enormity of change keep you from starting. Start small and release new versions of yourself often! Small is not scary. It is much easier to achieve. Plus, you get feedback and support from others. By focusing on small steps, you invest less time in things that don't work or don't resonate with others.
That makes sense, thanks Coach! Makes me think of all the "features" I worked on that did not matter :)
"Like an old software program, we fall behind and ultimately require a full rewrite. Those rewrites represent times of crises." - I can relate.
While crisis can act as a catalyst for change, I don't think people go looking for it just to achieve improvements or personal growth. Small increments is definitely a less painful way.
Also, like the advice about “make noise, listen for signal.”, that's really cool way to think about it;
This statement got me "And then you realize there is no next version." by this, do you mean the end of life? :)

Nice analogy! :) However, Christina Rossetti's quote about "work never begun" being a sad thing is somewhat incongruent with agile/MVP ; If I understand MVP correctly, to have "work never begun" is a good thing - https://www.leadingagile.com/2019/03/maximizing-the-amount-of-work-not-done/
