Swing Big: Lessons from Babe Ruth and My Dad

This episode is close to my heart. In honor of my dad’s birthday, I’m sharing one of his greatest lessons, the Babe Ruth mindset: you can’t hold the record for home runs without also holding the record for strikeouts.

In life and business, we all hesitate because we fear failure. But the truth is, confidence grows every time you swing, miss, and try again. I’ll share how this philosophy shaped my courage as a speaker, entrepreneur, and coach, and how you can use it to move past hesitation and into bold action.

You’ll learn:

Why courage matters more than perfection
How failure becomes feedback
How to redefine success as action, not outcome

Brave Move:
Write down one “strikeout” from this year and the lesson it taught you, then plan your next big swing.
