It started with a decision. A decision to stop waiting on the world to change and start taking responsibility for my own life. In this episode, I’m taking you back to where it all started for me. The doubts, the fear, the excuses I hid behind, and the moments I almost talked myself out of starting at all. Because the truth is, most people aren’t held back by lack of talent or opportunity, they’re held back by hesitation, comfort, and the stories they keep telling themselves. We’re breaking down what really stops people from starting: fear of failure, fear of judgment, waiting to feel ready, and giving power to circumstances they can’t control. And more importantly, we’re talking about how to move anyway. How to take massive ownership. How to stop pointing fingers and start choosing responsibility, even when it’s uncomfortable. This episode is a reminder that change doesn’t begin when everything lines up. It begins when you decide to show up differently. No more waiting on permission. No more waiting on perfect timing. Your life doesn’t shift when the world changes. It shifts when you do. Because at the end of the day, it all starts with you.

truth, even when it's going to pierce your heart. This is me, Trent Shelton, straight up. Let me be clear about something.

0:43.3

I never want to be a speaker.

0:44.6

I never want to start rehab time.

0:46.2

I never want to be an author, anything like that.

0:49.3

If you ask my dad, it's so funny, if you ask my dad, he would tell you out of his three sons

that I would be the

0:55.0

least, the least to be a speaker because I've been and still am such an introverted person.

1:01.4

So people ask like, how are you so introverted but you're so extroverted at the same time?

1:05.8

So let me break this down to you real quick. My whole entire life, right, since I was four years

1:10.8

old, it was for me to be a

1:12.7

football player. That was it. Or for me to just play sports, baseball, basketball, track. And I had two

1:18.7

older brothers, so I, like, I had no choice because I wanted to follow on their footsteps. And

1:28.5
