Ep. 108: The Courage to Live - The Truth About Taking The Risk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we talk about building a business after law enforcement, and the unexpected reactions that come from coworkers, peers, and even friends when you choose a different path. Judgment, jealousy, gossip, and insecurity tend to show up fast when someone does what others only talk about.
This episode explores why that happens, how to recognize who’s picking fruit versus who’s watering the soil, and why your circle often gets smaller as your purpose gets clearer. If you’re starting something new, thinking about taking a leap, or struggling with the noise that comes from growth, this conversation is for you.
