Happy Birthday to the Growth Instigators Hotline! Exactly one year ago, what started as a simple experiment has blossomed into 275 calls, 825 minutes, and countless moments of shared growth and connection.

When I launched this hotline, I questioned whether anyone would call, if I'd run out of things to say, or if I'd end up talking to myself indefinitely. What emerged instead was something truly special—a community of growth-minded individuals sharing this journey together. The most surprising revelation? We're all wrestling with similar challenges. Our episode on imposter syndrome generated the most responses, confirming that even the most accomplished among us sometimes feel like we're "figuring it out as we go."

The past year has brought unexpected callers (including three doctors who have their own hotlines), numerous pocket dials with background music, and more tongue-tied re-recordings than I care to admit. But through it all, one lesson stands clearest: growth isn't about dramatic transformations but consistent daily action. Showing up, especially when you don't feel like it, makes all the difference. This hotline has become a daily reminder that every morning offers a fresh opportunity to learn something new and take another step forward.

What has your growth journey taught you this past year? Call in today to share your reflections or simply say happy birthday. Better yet, introduce a friend to the hotline—there's no better gift than expanding our community of growth instigators. Thank you for making this first year so remarkable, and here's to many more days of instigating growth together.
