We all have that one thing we REALLY want to do but we're also deeply scared of doing - quitting our jobs, applying to grad school, moving cities - you name it.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, you're listening to the Big Conversations podcast. I'm your host, Haley Hoffman |
| 0:06.3 | Smith. I'm an entrepreneur, a best-selling author, and a Forbes most influential speaker. |
| 0:11.4 | You're in the right place if you're ready to step into the bigger life that you were destined for |
| 0:15.9 | because we're about to get real on how to do so. So let's get started with today's big |
| 0:20.7 | conversation. |
| 0:25.0 | Guys, welcome back to the podcast. This is my very first time recording an episode in New York |

| 1:18.6 | of course, this was moving cities, but it could be something like deciding to quit your job, |
| 1:23.2 | to go after your side hustle, deciding to write that book, ending that relationship, having a hard |
| 1:29.7 | conversation, starting a new company, switching jobs, deciding to go to grad school. Just a few |
| 1:37.9 | things that come to mind when I think about other things that can seem really scary when you're |
| 1:42.1 | first starting to think them through, but ultimately |
| 1:45.3 | you know you need to do them. So I wanted to provide kind of like a blueprint or a map of how to get |
