Summary

Change doesn’t knock politely. It shows up fast, disrupts your identity, and forces you to question what’s next even when you thought you’d finally “made it.” In this episode, I sit down with Jason Feifer, Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine to break down why change feels so destabilizing and how to move through it without panic, paralysis, or clinging to the past. Jason shares the 4 phases everyone experiences during change, why panic is normal (even for high performers), and how to reframe disruption as opportunity instead of loss. Get ready to stop fearing change and start building for tomorrow. In This Episode You Will Learn Why PANIC is the first (and normal) response to change. The 4 phases of CHANGE and how to move through them faster. How to reframe CHANGE as gain instead of loss. Questions that help you regain CONTROL during uncertainty. How to separate your IDENTITY from your title, role, or output. How to define WHO you are in a way that can’t be taken away. How to reframe failure as DATA instead of a dead end.
