In this episode, I reveal why playing it safe might be the riskiest move you can make in your creative journey. I share my own experience of scrapping a finished manuscript just weeks before the deadline and what it taught me about embracing risk and pushing beyond comfort zones. I also get into why true growth comes from challenging the status quo. This isn’t just a philosophy; it’s a necessity for anyone looking to make a meaningful impact in their work and life.
Some highlights we cover:
The illusion of safety and its hidden costs
Redefining risk as a catalyst for creativity and innovation
Practical steps to embrace discomfort and take bold action
Enjoy!

0:11.0 | A voice whispering that you're meant for more or different. |
0:15.0 | Even as you're ticking all the boxes of whatever, you know, picture of a quote, successful life you may, you know, hold in your |

0:27.5 | finished manuscript of my new book. And by all accounts, I feel like it was a successful, solid |
0:34.3 | piece of work. But deep down, I knew something wasn't right. I knew it wasn't the book that I |
0:41.6 | needed to put out. So it did something that terrified me. I scrapped the entire thing just eight |

1:03.8 | it preaches. And today, in today's micro show, I want to share why embracing risk isn't |
1:09.8 | just an option for creatives and entrepreneurs. |
1:12.9 | It's an absolute necessity. |

1:39.3 | These products are plug and play. They start at just 120 bucks and go all the way up to, as you might imagine, |
1:45.2 | the Mac Daddy Cadillac versions. I've always only partnered with products I actually use and |
1:49.7 | endorse and this fits the bill perfectly. And to be clear, I reached out to the folks at plunge.com |
1:56.7 | about partnering because they make the best stuff. And I was absolutely delighted that they were psyched to sponsor the show. |
