620: (Solo) The Secret to Making Bold Business Moves With Confidence
One of the biggest challenges founders face — especially at the end of the year — is knowing what to do next and feeling confident that the move you're about to make is the right one. Certainty feels elusive, but the truth is: certainty is something you can manufacture.
In this episode, I break down exactly how I’ve built certainty in my own business decisions, from landing interviews with icons like Richard Branson to reinventing Foundr’s business model during tough times, to launching Foundr+ and new product lines with conviction. Certainty isn’t magic — it’s created through mentorship, evidence, testing, and belief.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
• Why certainty comes from seeing someone else do it — and how to leverage mentors, coaches, and proven frameworks
• How to combine data + gut intuition for confident decision making
• Why most founders act from fear instead of conviction — and how to flip that bias
• The “small test” method for validating ideas before you go all in
• The example of Poppi: how Allison Ellsworth built a $2B brand by trusting her conviction, not waiting for permission
If you’ve been hesitating on a big move, second-guessing your decisions, or waiting for the perfect moment to take action, this episode will show you how to build real certainty — so you can move decisively and create the outcomes you want.
This is a brand new solo series I’m testing, and I’d love your feedback. Email me directly at [email protected] — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.
