Still Driven - Stories With Grit

When Life Throws You In The Spin Cycle

melvin jackson

Life doesn’t always break you all at once—sometimes it keeps you stuck, spinning in fear, doubt, and unfinished dreams. In this first episode of Still Driven: Stories with Grit, we talk honestly about what it feels like to be caught in that cycle, where time passes but progress feels stalled.


This episode explores fear of starting, fear of failing, and even fear of winning—and how those fears quietly shape our decisions. It’s not about hustle or perfection; it’s about recognizing the loop, facing real-world obstacles, and choosing one small step forward when quitting or staying comfortable feels easier.


If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next move, this episode is a reminder that you’re not broken—you’re in process. And being still driven doesn’t mean having it all figured out; it means deciding to keep moving anyway.
