0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast. Today I'm coming at you with a very
0:05.1	special solo episode because it's an excerpt from a talk I recently gave. But before I get into that,
0:11.6	if you're watching this video, you know that I'm in a very makeshift setup. I got some top
0:17.5	walls. I don't even have a mic stand. I'm holding my mic. You know, so much of what delayed me from writing and speaking and creating videos was afraid it wasn't perfect.
0:29.1	That I wanted to strategize. I wanted to make sure all the equipment was the best and da-da-da-da-da-da.
0:36.6	But all of it is just delay strategies because we're afraid to start.
0:41.9	And so I say that to you with like, just get it done.
0:45.6	Like I've got, this is not ideal, but it is available.
0:51.6	And it's really about witnessing ourselves show up no matter what. And so if you've been
0:56.3	delaying starting anything, here's your opportunity to get out of the strategy, get out of
1:02.2	all the ways that you're trying to make it so you don't have to put yourself out there and be
1:06.4	vulnerable and just begin. Just get it out. Just get it started. Okay. So that's my rant. Now, the talk that I'm
1:15.8	sharing with you is from a recent conference that I did that was focused on entrepreneurship.
1:22.5	And I love speaking in spaces like that because to me, I think owning your own business is really not totally dissimilar to the same level of personal growth that's invited from being in a romantic relationship.
1:37.3	Because so much of our identity is tied up in success or not or putting out vulnerable thoughts, feelings, and ideas.
1:48.3	And then if they don't land or they don't sell or they don't do whatever, we often feel like
1:53.7	they're a failure. And it's actually really beautiful work to be able to decouple our self-worth
1:59.9	from that. And that's true
2:01.8	relationally too, where we can make an honest assessment about how we showed up and contributed
2:07.9	to the outcomes of our lives, but how they are not actually correlated to our worth. So in this talk,
2:14.1	I share aspects of how do we move through that? How do we put our stuff out there?
2:18.7	How do we actually decouple our self-worth?
